Responsive sites have to be like elastic 'jelly' and accommodate every view-port resolution. The only exception being non-mobile-friendly web apps, in which case some sort of manifest should be read by the browser and presented to the user clearly stating mobile isn't supported and they should use a desktop browser instead. Then there's the progressive web app (PWA) debacle, where users don't even know what a PWA is and don't know that they can pin sites to their home-screen, simulating an app.

Our product is the exception here (desktop only web app). We basically just account for 800-1300px width range and call it a day. On the low-side, we show a "desktop only" overlay. On the high side, we block the content from expanding.

Thereason users don't know that they can be 'installed' is because they're on iOS, where Apple has been effectively hamstringing them in favor of the Apple App Store. There is a way to install PWAs on iOS, but it's quite hidden.
