If the site is so atrocious, it will also be atrocious to "desktop" users on a desktop/laptop. Bear in mind that the desktop version also needs to conform to WCAG, so things like 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks also apply. Additionally: even "desktop" sites often use things like dropdown menus etc for navigation, which - if the site passes WCAG 2.0, which it must to be counted as an "accessible alternate version" - will be coded correctly to expands/collapse, expose the correct role/state, and so on...so it's not necessarily always this dichotomy of "nice slick mobile version vs clunky and complex desktop version". In any case, it seems (?) that the addition of a note to the definiton of "accessible alternate version" will sufficiently reassure you that developers won't see the "link to desktop" as an exoneration in these cases?
