I wonder if we'll see a resurgence of "real work" ui for desktops and laptops now that most of the "everyone else"/"the mainstream" has shifted to mobile.

I sure hope so. This may be a contentious opinion, but I strongly think that the 'average non-technical user' that has driven so much of modern UI development (for better or for worse) is not representative of someone who should have input when it comes to tools used by professionals. Complex tasks usually benefit from deep, rich interfaces. Simpler ones may be easier to learn, but will always be restrictive once baseline competence has been reached.
