According to MS, the main userbase prefers the metro interface. In Win 8.1, they only reintroduced the old desktop to keep whingers like you and me happy...As a developer, I am forcing myself to use the metro interface as it looks like its going to be around for a while.
Yes, I've noticed that there has been a subtle swing to tiles in some form or another in a lot of internet sites.
And most advertisements for laptops these day proudly offer W 8.1 with a touch screen interface as though it's some sort of big deal. Perhaps it is - I've yet to be seduced - despite having a few android tablets and phones in the family.
It's seems unlikely that there will be a return to former more familiar (mouse click) selection options. At present of course one can use either mouse or "stab" options (I think), but could it be that some point in the future, the move is made right way from mouse selection altogether?
