A lot of mobile sites are so awful to use and laggy I am convinced companies behind them don't want you to use them too.

It's actually the opposite. They're laggy because they have so much bloat to track you, to advertise to you, to steal your identity - they absolutely want you to use them.

Also Desktop users are far more likely to use an ad blocker. Breaks most of the bloat.

They don't want you to use the website they want you to download their crappy app which has no actual additional features over the website except they can track you more.

Yep. Images are better, text isn’t as hidden, form fill is better on a desktop browser. It’s just better on a desktop with a big screen.
