For many people, and maybe most younger people, PCs are a supplemental device. I know a few folks who have an iPad and a smartphone but no personal laptop. To your point, though, I think more do get by with just the phone.

For most of my family the iPad replaced their computer. Thankfully I no longer have to do tech support.

I second this. The ipad has become the computer for several in my family as well.

The watch and AirPods are also “accessory devices”. Most other companies would kill to have any of Apple’s divisions.

You’re living in a tech bubble my friend.

Many people have replaced their laptops and computers with an iPad because they only check email/Facebook/watch youtube/surf the web.
