But thats my point. Android and iOS WILL be steaming piles of garbage. But they’ll be about the only options. So it’s either use them, or get left behind socially.
Games will be left to consoles.
Linux MIGHT survive in a zombiefied way with the steamdeck, but 99% of people will never change distros.
And corporations don’t care about giving you options for form factor.
Because if microsoft switches to a browser only format, as in, there is no such thing as windows 12, they have no reason to make an OS.
Doesn’t matter how much demand there is for something. If the product doesn’t exist, and would take at least a decade to develop, companies won’t develop it because they only think in 3 month short term profit cycles. It’s hard to sell your investors on the idea of a product that won’t be ready for 10 years, with no way to guarentee hardware will even exist to run it when it’s ready.
And you could say “Linux”, but people don’t understand Linux. If the option is Linux or nothing, they choose nothing. Thus the evaporation of the PC manufacturing.
I’ll believe that when either Android or iOS aren’t steaming piles of garbage.
Also games, form factor, etc.

Why would they be the only options when there’d be so much consumer demand for laptops, etc.

Microsoft going browser only would be a great reason to switch ro Linux.
