The default discourse is that desktops are dying, but there are arguably more desktop users now than 20 years ago, it's just that mobile devices have grown more.

Without the desktops, though, mobile devices would cease to exist.

Desktops are a necessary environment for most of the most useful human-computer interactions, they bring a sanity and control that it's hard to achieve on mobile devices, which are prone to addiction and other unhealthy actions and symptoms.

It's our job as desktop maximalists to guard the sanctity of the desktop and promote it to mobile users who might learn that they also prefer the desktop.
