The siren song of a mobile-first UI

The UI is pretty bad. I have a nice 27" monitor, yet they constrain the entire game to a tiny 5" wide column down the length of my browser window. Would be great if web designers would stop imagining that I'm browsing the web with a tiny portrait phone screen.

They just stopped imagining that I’m browsing on a 15” screen!

But conversely, if you are designing a website where I will likely need to consult information or enter information whilst also using another site, it'd be great if your site could be accessed in a 'tall-and-thin' format.

One of the most effective ways I have found to work is having windows open on the same monitor next to each other in a vertical tiling - almost as if they were two physical documents.
