Steam users and growth rate is at an all time high almost exclusively because of Dota 2...otherwise i would assume their growth is pretty average. And dota 2 does not require a gaming PC but simply a decent laptop or home pc with onboard graphics.
I would also caution against correlating high end GPU's sales with the growth of gaming PCs - with a function to game. Theres a hell of a lot of enthusiast PC owners who dont game at all. In fact the most popular tech youtube channel (i think its the most popular) was started by a guy who does not game but is very interested in GPU's.
In any case i agree with you and would say that Gaming PC's are becomming less of a niche unlike what OP says...but i dont think the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.
