I use a touch-enabled laptop and come across this far too often. Even nytimes.com is guilty of this, as is Stripe Checkout.

We actually changed this recently in Stripe Checkout. Touch detection worked great for 99% of cases, but serving a touch-only experience to devices like yours was pretty clearly unacceptable.

We're now treating the touch-only versions as optimized for specific platforms. For example, we have a mobile version that is optimized for, and only displays on, Android and iOS. Going forward, we may explore a pointer event polyfill to improve support for less common touch devices.

I stand corrected. Thank you for finally making this change... It's been driving me mad.
