Yeah, I'm seeing this with new hires as well.

Several of them don't own computers and rely entirely on smartphones for their computing needs.

It's frankly a worrying trend. Smartphones are consumer devices that do not allow the kind of automation, tinkering, scripting, and ownership that computers do.

On the flip side it means that I will be more competitive in the job market as I grow older than I was expecting.
