For some application certainly. Instant messaging of course has many strong point in term of what is to be dealt with. Short messages, photos, quick visios.

But to edit large document, visualize any large corpus with side by side comparison, unless we plug our mobile on a large screen, a keyboard and some arrow pointer handler, there is no real sane equivalent to work with on mobile.

Yeah, but the majority of people who would've been daily desktop or at least laptop users some 10 to 15 years ago now make do with a phone. Most people do not need to visualize any large corpus or edit large documents. Similarly, there's a great deal of phone users who's first interaction with computers was via a smartphone.
