Yes this is being pushed on everyone, including grandma's and the tech illiterate. If the "best" solution is clunky at best, what chance to the tech luddites have?
So no one uses desktop or laptop computers anymore? Who made that decision for everyone, I wasn't consulted.
There are millions of non-technical people with jobs, where they are issued a company computer.
It's conceivable they might want to access the World Wide Web on it.
Assuming they own no other devices other than a mobile phone as you suggest, they still have at least two and probably don't want to sync anything from their personal phone to a company computer.
P.S. your comment was funnier before you added the part about the gucamole
