Most of the general public use a cellphone as their only "computer".
Even if they once owned a desktop or laptop, changes to the telephone

Yep, us desktop PC users are feeling like an endangered species: 40%
global web traffic compared to 58% for mobile devices (78% of which is
by Android users).  Considering the toy computer it is, small display,
and lack of good input devices (unless you Bluetooth a keyboard and
mouse), I dislike web surfing on a phone.  Still, it beats lugging a
laptop or notebook on a vacation.  A big smartphone in a belt holster
beats toting around a bag with a laptop.

  The "mobile devices" category probably includes tablets. IME, most
households which have mobile phones, also have tablets or/and laptops.

There must be some age break for those that do and don't suffer
nomophobia.  Some folks have withdrawl symptoms if they don't have their
phone on them all the time.

  "Some"!? :-)
