People don't want the same user interface for phones, tablets and PCs, but they are likely to want access to the same underlying services. Especially if that means you can share access to data between different form factors seamlessly, without going to the cloud. Write a document on keyboard, then take your phone off to proof-read it on the couch. Receive an email while you're away from home, start writing a response, when you get home finish it using a keyboard and full screen. Download a PDF on your desktop, and then a week later while you're on the bus, or at work, remember it, and be able to read it straightaway. All your documents, bookmarks, open tabs, music in one place. Only one location to back-up. And so on.

I think it'd be useful.

Or just have a cloud-centric workflow and you have billions of devices around you that can quickly access any of your data :)
