If you can explain it, I'd like to know why anybody ever browses on the phone unless you're literally travelling or on the toilet. I just don't get it. A tiny screen and no keyboard seems like a crappy way to experience the Internet when you could use a big screen, but everybody is saying it's the next thing. (Perhaps it is purely economic and I'm being a bit of a Marie Antoinette here?)
It really doesn't take much to at least make sure your website is accessible. If it doesn't work properly it's likely I'll give up and not even bother trying anywhere else.
I agree that if the site looks like that on a tablet, they need to fix it. It's not about being "too picky". There's no excuse for stuff like that.
The main thrust of the critique as I saw it was that the OP could have done it when he was 14, which is what led to the "too picky" comment.
If you really want to understand why the PC industry is drowning and mobile is on the rise, go out into the world an interact with the people using these devices. The answer will be obvious at that point.

I've done that, but I still don't get it. That said, I only really have close interaction with 2 people who use tablets (AFAIK). I see that with a tablet the screen is big enough to not be a pain. Isn't the on-screen keyboard a pain, though? Does it work just well enough to type URLs and fill out web forms? Or does it work well enough that people don't really care about not having a real keyboard?
