did i say anything other?

what did you exactly not understand in "the percent does not matter"
all this counts will not change the fact that workstations and
powerusers will exist in 10 years as they do now

and this is why it is wrong to design defaults only having
smartphones and tabs in mind - ther are people which do much
more with a computer and will ever be which can not be done
with any mobile device because you are missing the needed
performance and interfaces, not speaking from RAID etc.
