May I suggest you get access to a monitor?
In all seriousness, data visualization requires all the space it can get. I agree the graphics are not that fancy, but displaying them on mobile would be rather uninteresting as everything would be tiny.
Hence the minimal effort put on responsiveness.

So in this case all that expensive money spent making that page isn’t really worth it since a large part of internet wouldn’t even be able to properly read it. Worse is they half arsed responsiveness. Could have left safari to browse the page like a normal desktop page but their width metadata gives a very poor experience.
