You bring up valid points.
However, ios makes most of the mobile profit just as windows and Mac do over Linux for desktop (I have only used Linux in server industry so I don't know how they fair in those markets too much).
In that light, How about this prediction.
Linux will continue to dominate in the server market for a long time as businesses factor in the cost of os licenses and the supply of linux users is big.
Consumer markets like desktop, mobile, whatevers next will flock to the lower personal cost (through customer time investment in learning the os).
