Oh, absolutely. A desktop is far, far less "fanged" than a phone. It's not with you all the time, and it generally can't send notifications if you don't have a webpage open (I know there are the "web notifications" every shady site wants to use, but they're off by default, vs on by default for phones).
Going back to a desktop computer that you turn off regularly (so there's some friction waiting for it to boot) is one of the best ways to approach the internet these days.
Yeah, but these days almost all white collar workers are on a desktop at least eight hours a day, and when you go home at night wouldn’t you prefer the form factor of a larger screen rather than a handheld one?
I prefer the form factor of board games, paper books, and such things over any sort of digital devices in the evening. So form factor isn't a big deal.
I'm trying to recover an offline-first life, in which I only use digital devices for interacting with other people (or, occasionally, communicating about such things - it's been an intermittent theme on my blog, and I've got a lot more "offline project" posts coming up soon, about charcoal, rock dust, and other related things).
