Completely off-topic of course, but Holmes' Law shows that, for a
right-handed person (i.e. 90% of the population) the cursor falls to the
right hand side of the desktop most of the time. I would have thought
the docker and the windows buttons would therefore be closer for the
vast majority of people, if they were on the right hand side.

My big question today is if we are aiming at a unified computing experience

Uh, the Launcher reverses in phone mode. It's normal in desktop mode.
It's all about ergonomics. For people holding a small device in their hands
and using fingers to interact it's easier
to have a common control at the bottom, but for people using a mouse and a
non-touch display sitting on a desk in front
of them, Fitt's law puts that point at the top. Convergence means the software
appears and reacts the right way for the
current configuration. Change the configuration, change the way the software
appears and reacts.
