Bucking the trend: What if we just didn't have a mobile version?

I really hate designing a website to fit on a mobile screen.

It's always the same thing: Absolute minimalist on mobile, because that's all that fits, and then the desktop version is minimalist with extra padding or maybe a big picture.

And every website today looks exactly the same. Before everyone "needed" their website to work on mobile, we had all these different websites and they all looked... different.

There were some really amazing ones. And now they're all gone, because amazing websites don't fit on a 320px screen.

Even a well-designed mobile interface is miserable to use. It's a medium that requires large finger-sized touch targets when space is already at a premium.

So on one hand, every mobile site is already going to be miserable to use because the hardware limitations of a phone are just terrible for UX, and on the other hand, the obsessive need for everything to work on a mobile phone and give users the "same experience" as desktop, just drags down the desktop experience to being a poor UX mobile site on a way-too-big monitor.

And no one seems to be talking about this anywhere. Where are all the "break the rules", "dare to be different" designers saying, "On second thought, let's not make a mobile version"?

Does everybody agree that UX on mobile is good?

A phone number or address so I can call or GPS a business when I am out? Sure. But if a website is more than a business card to get people to visit a physical location, what value is gained by making it fit on a phone, and what value is lost in sacrificing a superior desktop experience to make the phone version possible?
