I've been long advocating to get rid of the mobile-first approach and instead embrace a width-agnostic paradigm.
It is possible to ensure that a div or image doesn't stretch too much on desktop by setting the right max-width. It is possible to ensure that a tabular div doesn't overflow on mobile by setting the right width in a responsive @media query.
The problem is that mobile-first has become mobile-only, assuming that 80% will come from those devices and the others will figure out a way to cope with the eyesore. Real responsive design and craft of width is still possible (now like in 2010), but it takes time and testing - resources that companies are more than willing to save, since everybody in tech seems bent on pushing half-baked MVPs nowadays and call them products.
