To me it's really that Wordpress developers / community are not taking mobile seriously. Poorly mobile optimized themes are just a symptom of the problem.
The consequence is a generation of Mobile developers are ignoring Wordpress, at least in their apps. Wordpress needs to have a drop-in SDK that allows content from an app developers blog to be displayed in a friendly way in-app, plus push notifications / badges etc. to inform users of new content. How do you tell users about new features in your app for example?
Then there are some deeper questions to answer like blog comments - do they make sense on mobile at all? Most people aren't going to write more than a sentence on their phone. What about finding different ways to provide feedback? Yelp for example spend a long time soul-searching about whether to allow reviews from mobile - http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/08/oh-snap-yelp-app-now-post-reviews-straight-from-your-mobile-device.html http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/08/oh-snap-yelp-app-now-po... - I don't think they found the answer but they certainly saw the problem. But that's another story...
