>Someone who switches their monitor to portrait, or resizes a window to be taller than it is wide, is still going to get the desktop view. My experience has been the exact opposite of what you're saying. And the result is, 90% of the time, a site that goes from usable to unusable.

What viewport width are you providing in that case?

  I typically go from width=1920 x height=1080 (or larger but with similar aspect ratio) to width=949 x height=1028 On many sites, this trigger the appearance of the dreaded hamburger menu.

    When people lay out desktop sites, 960px is the smallest common minimum design width. Many of these sites are statically laid out, and if rendered with the width of 949px would require horizontal scrolling.

        Yes, if these sites were not statically laid out, and instead gracefully handled any size they happened to be rendered at, providing a viewport width of 949px would not be a problem.
