I don't feel like we are in disagreement. I don't advocate to make everything needlesly tedious on mobile.

I'm just saying that you have to do the basics right for the "commoner" but it is not necesseraly needed for the "good stuff".

Look at books layout, there are very clear difference depending on target demographics. If you want to mass market stuff, go ahead, do "mobile first" or whatever. But if you have high-quality content that require a good layout, it is not worth much to spend time "optimizing" for access patterns that woud barely get used.

The best cookbooks I have are all physical, because reproducing the experience/layout for mobile is impossible, if you want to do a quality product, at some point you have to define a minimum viable standard, otherwise you end up with with infinite scroll and that's not terribly usefull.
