The reality is that in a world where we can get a pi zero W for $10 it is better for every screen and keyboard to have it's own OS, file system, and processing ability. Even back in the late 90s and early 2000s I was SSHing into my computers or servers to offload work from my mobile device even from an old Handspring Visor or Sharp Zaurus. You can get your phone's GUI up on a laptop with VNC but for me at least getting a remote terminal and being able to transfer files is really where I want to go, that includes treating my mobile devices like a server for my laptop.
In a Linux/Unix lifestyle everything is just another server you can access and exploit to serve your needs best.
I would not like to have to jack my phone in to an otherwise dead keyboard and screen, but I would like my phone or other mobile device as tightly integrated as possible with my other digital assets when they are in the same space or 11000km away.
