> 1. I'm not using a real computer
It has a CPU, some RAM, and I/O devices. It is a real computer, by any definition of “computer”. Just maybe not in a form factor you like.
> 2. I'm accessing something built for real computers
By and large, it’s not the people accessing the web who build it. Web developers just follow their audience.
> 3. The solution is to morph the thing I'm accessing around the device with horrible physical input/output that I'm using
It is not horrible, merely different. Some things are hard to do on a touch screen and easy on a keyboard, and some others are the other way around.
The thing is, mobile-friendly web design does not imply desktop-unfriendliness. In this case, it is easy to add an input to show the keyboard. Particularly compared to putting a whole emulator on the same page. It also would not change a thing for desktop users.
