That does seem to be where this is headed. Especially after googles last announcement possibly bricking 99% of the phones from accessing the internet

This looks like a consumer choice and producers are following up with the demand.

Given that the AI companies are still operating at a loss and running on investor money, I'm not sure it's actually driven by consumer choice.

Consumers are not helping though. They do everything on a smartphone and don't even blink when mobile app is required for most trivial things.
