This is one of the hard pills for HN to swallow. The age of desktop computing for general consumers is shrinking. It'll probably always have a place but everything that can be done on a phone is getting done on a phone these days.

Many of the things that are more comfortable to do on a desktop computer is because many web app/site developers consider mobile devices as crippled computers and often such sites do not offer the user all of the options. The "request desktop site" shouldn't still be a thing in 2022.
People conduct serious business on phones. Mobile apps and sites are more important to products that we would all assume are “sit down at a desktop computer” type of products.
Any effort you put into a desktop-only app is basically leaving most of the money on the table, unless it’s a desktop computing specific niche (and if it is, it was probably already thought up 10 years ago).
