Good grief! I had no idea that this would result in such a heated
exchange :-)

As some have pointed out, the smartphone is a computer. Also, many
users are giving up their desktop and laptop computers for
smartphones and, sometimes, an additional tablet.

Given this development, does Fedora have anything to offer them?

So far in the discussion, the answer appears to be that it doesn't.

Given this development, who will be using Fedora, if it cannot be
used on the devices people nowadays are purchasing and using?

A thought:

People are not out buying box- or folding-computers because the market is saturated. No one needs the latest, and greatest computer, but we still have them, and we may still need them to write essays / reports; thus, we still need the OS. We are, however, going to need, for the present time, the latest, and greatest smart phone. 

We may need to buy computers when voice-activation comes along - at which time they may be built into the houses, and these will need the OS.

I believe we want to develop for the hand-held data-device; we sell the OS by installing on our own devices, overtop of Android.

Just my thoughts on redundancy.
