I assume you are a dev (or at least dev-adjacent), so this isn't about you. You will, most likely, always prefer multiple monitors, beefy desktop, etc., regardless of your generation.
We are talking about gen pop here. I am a late millenial, and back in my teens, if you wanted to access internet, do social media, listen to non-physical format music, etc., you pretty much had to own a PC/laptop. Almost everyone back then had access to it at their home.
In present day, most people have no need for that. Social media, music, internet, etc., is all done on smartphones. I see less and less gen pop interest and need in PCs as the time goes.
My grandparents learned to use PC just so they could check out news and talk to me on skype (we live in different countries now). Over time, they switched to smartphones, as they found the ease of use and pretty much a complete lack of the need for troubleshooting very appealing. Years later, they are happy with that decision.
That doesnt mean that PCs are gonna die or dwindle, quite the opposite. For work, smartphones are suboptimal, and thus PCs will stay around for work, for the enthusiast crowd (which would include gaming), and for a bunch of other hobbies/niche used (like music production, etc.). I don't foresee PCs and multimonitor setups ever going out of my life either, aside from the form factors of some of them slightly changing (e.g., a virtual multimonitor AR setup instead of a physical multimonitor setup).
