It already IS ubiquitous. What is the path to non-ubiquity then? Most people are depending on it in many personal contexts. A lot of people are even using it in their jobs whether others agree with it or not. Everyday it's becoming more ubiquitous than before.

Smart phones are this way for example. You may see them as just tools, but we became centaurs with our phones. I don't think being a "tool" precludes it from being a centaur or ubiquitous. I agree with you on some points, but I don't think the distinction you're making is valid here.
