I think you are right. But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Majority of Linux kernel is pretty good because of servers, super-computers and Android.

The only reason Linux needs Desktop users is for better graphics drivers and games. Now that Valve is making their game-console, the graphics drivers should improve tremendously, and there should be a lot of new games.

So there is no real need for wide acceptance of Linux desktop.

Of course, this is a rather selfish point of view. I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone used Free Software (and Linux). It would encourage collaboration of many groups of people, and would be really beneficial for all software.
