What will actually happen is that a lot of people will use the new
stuff, only test on their desktop machine, and then people using
phones will just have a crappy experience.

We have to weigh author pro/cons against user pro/cons when designing
new features, and something that is almost certain to result in a
crappy experience for a decent fraction of users is generally
undesirable.
