@Blaze is right, that most people's personal computer scope of usage doesn't reach far beyond scrolling through Facebook and paying bills once a month. A phone is perfectly well fit for that. Tech-savvy nerds of Lemmy such as myself or you have more requirements and scenarios where they need a more comfortable, powerful and capable device.
I use Linux as my main OS.
I still see that people around me use their phones for almost everything.
The tasks mentioned above make sense on a work computer, but most people leave the work computer at work and use their phones on their free time.
