At this point it's not preference. A large number of people - especially lower income and young - are mobile-only.
This sentiment has become equivalent to "is it really necessary for everyone to access this?" Buying an entire desktop computer for home use just to cover the fringe cases is now a luxury.
(Not to mention the two primary use cases are reporting and viewing prices on your phone when you are at a dealership)

You don't need to develop sites with mobile compatibility, but it'd be foolish not to. 1. https://www.statista.com/statistics/277125/share-of-website-traffic-coming-from-mobile-devices/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/277125/share-of-website-...
- drc500free 4y agoI don't think it's resistance, I think it's lack of exposure. I don't interact with people who don't use keyboards and monitors, I only find out about them by proactively looking at stats and user research. Even though I know better all my products are still desktop-first then checked against mobile screen sizes. It's just the reality of how designers and engineers still work. We should probably get to a place where we have a secondary monitor that by default shows 3-4 virtual mobile devices the entire time we're working.
