If content is rendered visually as a data table on a small screen like a phone it offers certain functionality to the user. It must be exposed as a data table to the SR user and be navigable as one. However, if the content appears like a data table only on bigger screen size (laptop / full size tablet) but appears like a series of say 2-column lists on a phone for all users, that content should be exposed as a series of lists to SR users as well. No user can view the content as a data table on a phone, so the table's functionality is not available to anyone. There is no accessibility problem then. Responsive design may be employed to render content with different data structure based on breakpoint. Thanks, Sailesh Panchang
