Your #2 is actually self-defeating. Your assumption would be that the desktop tools have peaked as well. The point that I'm making is that a lot of studies have shown increased productivity with increased screen real estate and that many work tasks benefit from more display space.
Re #3: Again, this depends on the type of application you're making. Not all great interfaces need max out the hardware (think Dots or Medium).
Fair on #2 - I don't think the desktop tools have peaked though. Just that the quality on mobile/tablets is growing faster.
The studies you cite will also have the built in bias of comparing a 3 - 5 year old computing paradigm with one that's had a quarter century to mature . . .

The studies are actually desktop vs desktop. Big screen versus smaller screens.
As for #2, we'll see where things head. I'm just seeing some refocus on better desktop UX that I hadn't seen in a few years.
