Are you saying you're opposed to responsive design?

  Well, I am. We got "responsive design" when we need it least: the moment we have mobile devices capable to display desktop pages just fine, large screen, and tap to zoom-in/out to any area of interest...

    I feel like we live in different universes; every time I use a desktop site on mobile, the touch targets are awful and it's hard to see content.

  Yes. Moving content around when I resize my window is the opposite of functional. I don't get more screen real estate so websites can have bigger and more fancy text or pictures. I get more screen real estate because I keep things small and the screen full of information; high information density. I resize things often as they get moved around on my screen and resizing the window will move elements around nearly every time. It's the same any time screen rotation is enabled: accidentally tilt or partially rotate the device and then everything resizes and moves around. It's very jarring. There's also the sites that take control of my keys so I can't use them to navigate; or those that disable operating system features such as copy and paste. Both of those are the opposite of useful. If you want more trust: build and sign a native application, and don't be overly generous on the permissions you request. There's no reason a message app needs audio permission until the moment I intentionally start or join a voice conversation. Same for the camera. Same for saving data to the local disk, too, really. There's definitely no reason you should need administrator permission. And that permission should be revoked when the conversation is done.
