That and i think we also adopted technology differently. Places like China or india in a way skipped most of the PC/Laptop phase and went straight to smartphones as their main device to access everything. On a PC/Laptop you'll access most things through a browser, so many services already existed this way and also remain accessible through that.

And even to this day many will prefer to do some things on a larger screen rather than a smartphone, even if by now it is the primary device.
