So, actually, there are not "less people who need actual computers" but "more people who use alternatives".
They use alternatives because they don't need them apparently :-)
Keep in mind that most adults have had to deal with a computer in their lives, the massive adoption of smartphones and tablets is a little more than 10 years old, they haven't been around forever. If after 12 years people are happy to use them less, then we must ask ourselves why.
Microsoft has a successful line of portable computers that look like tables when the keyboard is detached.
Apple for example has gotten a lot of flack in the latest years because their focus has been almost completely on phones.
A lot of people are happy with phones or with giant phones with pens or with iPads with keyboards or other combinations. Other people are happy with desktops or laptops. There are a lot more options now and it's a good thing.
It's not like computers have disappeared. They are there, you can buy them, both Macs and PCs. It's just that the "glory days" (in my opinion) are over
