I doubt it’s the last time. also while “PC” means personal computer, it was a very specific brand name by IBM, not a general purpose term. their computers (and clones later) became synonymous with x86-windows machines.

Even apple themselves have always distanced themselves from the term (I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC…).
