IMO we're well beyond the "almost" in that statement.
COVID led to work-from-home which necessitated laptops for employees in the services sector.
Even though the COVID threat has reduced, WFH is never going away.
For typical business use there is no compelling reason for a desktop.
But also, for the purpose of this thread, even "regular" PCs are increasingly coming with wifi as an alternative to wired networking. Ditto printing, where only premium units have Ethernet but most have wifi. This makes sense as most homes are well wired for RJ11 POTS service, but few are wired for RJ45. So the usual solution I have seen lately is to blanket even large houses with mesh wifi like the TP-Link Deco line. This seems good enough for most people as even 4K televisions are fine with wifi.
I was fortunate enough to buy a house from a developer when all that existed at the time of purchase was a sales office and a hectare or two of dirt. So I was able to do custom wiring. Requesting almost every room wired with RJ45 was so unusual it took me almost a full afternoon to explain it to the contractor. Then they brought in a commercial team that tried to sell me massively overpriced Ethernet switches. But I ended up happy with the result, though I have no idea if it will affect the house's resale value.
I have three USB-to-Ethernet devices. One was supplied by Asus with the laptop. Another is a TP-Link UE300C That is used with other laptops. But the one I use the most is a $21 hub I bought on Aliexpress that also includes an HDMI port, an SD card reader, and some additional USB-A ports. All have worked well under both Windows and Linux (KDE Neon), though I haven't exactly stress-tested them. The hub is fussy about the order of plugging things in but it works.
