Already is. There must be more smartphones and tablet users than personal computer users in the world. Simply because a person who use a PC but doesn't have a smartphone (hyper nerds like Stallman, or ppl who have very particular jobs that give them the freedom not to have a smartphone) are outnumbered by those who have a tablet or smartphone but not a PC (my 94 year old grandma)

The majority of smartphones, I believe, can have other software loaded on to them, if the user so desires.
Yes, but most of the time you're bound to proprietary blobs or some things won't work.
True, but consider that the vast majority of Android users have no clue how to do that.
