Nope, not even.

1) This would be tolerable with some PinePhone successor, but proprietary solutions like Samsung DEX are conducive to lock-in, more difficult for developers to target, and tend to go unsupported after a few years.

2) Phones have to become more durable. I expect my primary computing device to last half a decade. My phone's USB-C port is flaky after just over 2 years of charging it and carrying it around. How is it going to last if I'm plugging and unplugging it to/from some desktop rig?

3) They have to become more repairable too. "If it's broken, throw it away and buy new" just isn't tenable for a primary PC.

4) Getting everybody on board with "live in the pod, eat the bugs, use the cloud-connected thin client" is not going to happen.

Concerning 2) magnetic usb-c connectors are nice and wireless is an option, e.g. see the Lenovo wigig dock for an implementation.

Concerning 3) I think things are moving in the other direction. With immutable base OS and data seamlessy backed up (encrypted, of course) switching to a new device should be fairly frustration free.

For 4) I think we will see more and more of a mixture. For instance better integration of cloud storage, things like game streaming, more video streaming etc. . So not thin client, but not fully featured offline either.
