Yes the computer still has a purpose but in my opinion the view on this is a bit blurred when growing up in the western part of the world.

Just take a look at countries like Africa or Cambodia: Most of the people (if not all) own a smartphone and there is a lot of places where you will have a hard time finding a computer.

I tried to use a tablet for work when traveling but it did not take long to spot the drawbacks and buy a real computer to do serious work.

The mobile ecosystems force us to do this because they stop us from unleashing the full potential of these tiny computers.

Imagine something like an iPad that would allow the user to just install any software that this tiny computer can run. Also you should be able to copy and access files from/to any other location on the filesystem. I could use it for most of my daily tasks at work if iOS/iPadOS would not prevent me from using the tablet in that way.
