If that was the case, then it still wouldn't be growing now.  Phones and tablets are all still around now.  No, lack of innovation for years lead to people not purchasing new PCs and new innovation has spurred growth. Look at any chart of PC sales from Ivy Bridge (around 2012) until Sky Lake / Ryzen (2017) and you'll see where the spike of sales occurred.

Yeah I don't think so... What average person knows anything about their cpu besides i5/i7?
