It's in reference to the media hype that the PC (in the personal computer sense, not the Apple commercial sense) is dead and everyone just uses phones and tablets now.

'Microcomputer' was used more often from the late 70's through the early 80's. 'PC' became more popular as IBM clones became more popular in the mid to late 80's.
Almost no one except businesses and schools bought IBM pc's at first. They were ridicuosly expensive, had fewer features than the competition and there was a very small selection of software for them. After the BIOS was reverse engineered and the cheaper clones started hitting the market, the platform became very popular.
