There is no desktop "extinction" coming anytime soon.
That´s the same mistake as the claim that music CD sales going down is due to piracy.
The reality is that laptops and all kinds of similar options have been added, those who need only something less than a desktop now CAN get something less than a desktop.
Similar to how the spending on entertainment in total has gone up, just with a bit less going to music, purchases of computers have simply been spread out more. And with smartphones added, those also draws part of the purchases that used to pay for desktops.
