lion mclionheadWeb based file sharing was a disaster, but at least it led to a somewhat useful utility for transferring photos to the phone.
There is kdeconnect, but still limited by the wifi speed, many dependencies, & a lot of extra stuff for controlling the phone volume.
An ADB overlay has become the next ideal way of sharing files between a phone & a LAN. No getting around having to carry around a USB cable & clean the connector.
For a workstation display, a random idea was making the user wear telescopic glasses for enlarging the phone screen from far away.
Every VR startup must have tried that when VR was the future, 5 years ago.

LOL, my phone is the fastest WiFi client I have, my tablet doesn't do the 5GHz band. The other stuff is actually very useful. I can read texts and reply to them from my desktop, very useful when sites send you a second login factor for security.
Mobile phones these days are powerful enough to be mini-PCs. Resolution isn't lacking either, mine does 2k x 1k resolution. If only there were roll-up displays, keyboards and graphic pads, you could then take your CAD work with you.
