Home calculators are cheap as they've ever been, but this era of computing is out of reach for the majority of people.
The analogous PC for this era requires a large amount of high speed memory and specialized inference hardware.

You can call a computer a calculator, but that doesn’t make it a calculator.
Can they run SOTA LLMs? No. Can they run smaller, yet still capable LLMs? Yes.
However, I don’t think that the ability to run SOTA LLMs is a reasonable expectation for “a computer in every home” just a few years into that software category even existing.
I feel like you’re twisting the goalposts to make your point that it has to be local compute to have access to AI. Why does it need to be local?
Update: I take it back. You can get access to AI for free.
