I always feel there's probably a lot of selection bias involved in these sorts of figures.
If you build a mobile first website, most traffic you're going to get is mobile since mobile first websites suck on desktop.
If you build a website that doesn't perform well on mobile, mobile users are going to bounce and your traffic is going to make it look like desktop is the primary paradigm.
FWIW, something like 60-70% of the traffic to my sites is from desktop users. They work on both desktop and mobile, but they just cater to the sort of people who use desktop.

It's really hard to get objective measures.

I am aware of this and if the collector gets more widely adopted I can get better numbers -- I only created this site in March 2023.
Luckily, I do show the platform breakdowns as well.
