 the fault isn't that people think phone browsing is better, it's that responsive web design is tricky and time consuming and the state of the industry means you only get enough design and dev resources to make it barely readable on mobile chrome/safari and then it's back to making more elements that pop over the screen to nag users to do stuff

just don't read anything long enough to require scrolling, problem solved!
