Many people (possibly a majority) use their phone for most of their computing, and perhaps a tablet to stream movies/tv. They use a laptop or desktop for work only, and see those as frustrating and clunky devices. There could be a lot of demand for "phone, but with a tablet screen when I want to watch Netflix" from the segment of the population that has zero overlap with people commenting on a tech forum.
I know many people without a laptop or desktop at home. They don't find it strange. I can't imagine not having at least a laptop in my life.
The folks around me that computing includes a lot of social and game consumption.
