This is exactly why OP's solution to this problem is not universally implemented. It's a good solution in a small set of circumstances, but is a terrible idea if you had good justification for the tabular view in the first place.
This is all well trodden ground in CSS and UX circles. Here's is the same solution (along with several others) from 2011: https://css-tricks.com/responsive-data-tables/ https://css-tricks.com/responsive-data-tables/
The main takeaway is that small screens just aren't good for certain things, like comparing large data sets.
