It kinda does though, because modern software companies tend to shift focus away from projects before they get completely "done". The whole reason for "mobile first" is the tacit admission that whatever is not the primary focus will often get drastically less attention because there's already something that sorta "works".

There’s truth in what you’re saying, especially in the “things mostly suck, so expect that” world.

But in the ideal world you’re wrong... it’s fundamentally easier to start with a mobile design and make some specific interventions to make it work well on desktop than to do the opposite.

Whether anyone actually makes those interventions is, as you indicate, somewhat unlikely.
