I think there's an argument to be made for a decrease in computer ownership. In my line of work, over the past ~10 years, there has been an increasing number of people who only interact with our services through just their smartphone and just don't own a laptop or PC.
I know my folks have switched to Chromebooks primarily. Both my older brother and younger brother in law do not own laptops or PCs. One of my younger sisters has a laptop, and the other a gaming PC. I personally own a pc and laptop. Computers are in a weird place right now.
Honestly? Good. Maybe that'll stop them trying to chase that mythical "average user" who doesn't know how to uninstall Candy Crush, and instead have their come to Jesus moment with the audience of professionals and enthusiasts they have been spitting on.
I agree. They're facing a shrinking hold on a shrinking market. Hopefully this leads to better competition, especially given how much progress is being made on Linux gaming.
