Don't count on that. More and more desktop-level applications need good RT capabilities, everything that looms under the "multimedia" label. Games come to mind, and video/audio applications too. As soon as Linux gets good user-level capabilities, they will be used.
For a more real-world example of RT-(over?)use, see BeOS.
