It being possible to use for a specific purpose is a far cry from being able to run any software you want with much better performance. That's what being on par with means here.

Even my m1 work laptop which is impressively fast for a laptop, is noticeably worse off than my desktop. No one is denying the progress, but no "on par" is not at all accurate

Yes on par is stretching the truth very thinly for sure (today at least), the gap is closing though and eventually I expect phones will be running AAA games too. It will take some more large developments in phones before it's realistically possible but I can totally see phones being "dockable" becoming the form in future, and I expect mobile gaming will have some big changes if that does happen.

Yeah it will happen. The gap is closing, but I feel it's slowly. I don't expect the two form factors to converge in the next 5 years, but in 15? Sounds possible
