Can't believe he's using Uber as an app that's not on PCs but smartphones, because I want to pull out my laptop to hail a car.. And those other examples like Pinterest, Instacart and Instagram are pretty silly too, don't people just use their browsers?

That's the point. Those apps will never make sense on a desktop and just drives home the point that touting universal apps & easy porting of mobile apps to desktop is pointless.
