Doomed and killed off don't mean the same thing. Everyone in tech who isn't busy knocking down poorly constructed strawmen acknowledge that post-PC has already happened. That market is no longer expected to grow.

"Doomed" to me doesn't sound like "not expected to grow". It sounds more like "expected to die off". I mean, tv sales have been dropping for the last few years, but we're not saying the tv market is doomed because we don't expect that market to die. I think a better word for "not expected to grow" is "saturated".
In any case, the use of the word "doomed" is hyperbolic or at the very least ill defined scaremongering.

The TV market as a growing interesting market for innovation is almost dead. If you are in the tech industry and looking for the next big thing, you aren't look around TVs.
I really don't think many here actually read the article and instead just focused on the byline without any context.
