Linux will do whatever people want it to. If people don't want linux to rule the desktop, then it won't. Anybody can contribute to linux, therefore if someone wants to spend the time to make it take over the desktop they can.
The point is not that linux can never dominate the desktop, but that right now, with currently existing software it won't.
