I think the frequent usage here has to do with the portability of our computers.
Many, if not most, people here in TV have laptops, iPads and iPhones, making it easy to have the computer/device at your fingertips while doing other things around the house....like laundry, cooking, watching some t.v., etc.
I wouldn't want to go into the office and sit at a desktop computer, which is confining. Often, my laptop or iPad are on the kitchen counter and I take a look here as I walk by while doing other things.
