I'm with you on this. Mobile tailored versions of websites should be a bit better when you're on mobile, but I find that most of the time there's so much extra whitespace and wasted screen real estate (and sometimes missing features) that "request desktop site" gives me a better experience even on mobile for anything where I'm not just reading text.
