That's not a loss of content/functionality, no. It may require more/different steps to get to, but it's still there/workable. Related, I think a lot of the ground of this was covered in great detail on this other thread earlier in the year https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2016AprJun/0889.html (warning: long read, with branching parallel discussions...but the end result is pretty much what we've said already in short here - the small-screen/small-viewport version, which is also triggered on large screens when user zooms in browser or makes their browser window smaller than their large desktop monitor, must have the same content/functionality) P -- Patrick H.
