The only web pages that don't function on mobile are ones which have been optimized for desktop. Although it's rare to find them nowadays, this is false for pages with no CSS at all. By no CSS I mean not even the infamous proprietary viewport meta tag... which is a posteriori being made CSS. Access for instance the basically unstyled page [1] with a $1000+ smartphone of our day... and you're likely to find unreadably small font. Now, you could argue [1] functions on mobile, but let's agree it's stretching the meaning of that term. But that's not the main point: HTML elements come and go (for instance MENU; find others in [2]), so it's clear that archival reliability is not a big priority. We all agree that ideally the source should always be made available (mandated if tax payers' money is involved if you ask me), but that doesn't invalidate the value of a universal presentational format.
