Right, but my point is that this is self-reinforcing. If you put no effort in your desktop site, then nobody will use it. It also creates a vacant niche for competition to get a foothold in. I'm mainly a desktop user because my hands are too big to use smartphones comfortably. I can scroll decently well but I can't operate the keyboard without running my finger in a pencil sharpener first. There are lots of sites I simply don't use because they don't work well on desktop. It's kind of annoying being told I don't exist.
