This is a ridiculous "feature" and the fact that you are defending something like this is a major turn off on ever using this product. What other hill would you be "willing to die on" for some seemingly miniscule yet exceptionally annoying feature.

That's their problem, no one else's.
That's a pattern that most people would agree they don't like and my comment is meant to be a criticism of that.

It was posted in a public forum for discussion, is it really wrong to critique or praise the product in this setting?
It's probably true that a summary of features or something would be more helpful for those coming across it anew. In this case though, this is mostly for my own benefit, and it's explicitly out of scope to make money off this: I'd prefer to spend time on additional features for users (ie. me!), rather than implementing something like a product showcase or proper mobile view. Hopefully it's useful/interesting enough when it can be viewed properly, that it's worth coming back to.
