A certain $2tn+ company can't manage to pull that off and actually has different interfaces for each platform. We're making some big assumption that responsive interfaces actually work and don't push poor compromises on all users at the end of the day.

This is another UX death march like flat interfaces without cues and mystery meat.

I think is pretty clear that they work. Look at responsive web pages.

The thing is they don't always. And in some cases they actually completely fall apart.

How many responsive web pages do you know that don't compromise in some way?

There is nothing in the world which is not compromised "in some way".
