The mobile website and its functionality depend on the admins of each instance. I don't expect server admins to also be UX designers, and neither of those things are free. Lemmy is a free software platform, but it costs time and effort to run it.

Also, native apps can take advantage of system resources without needing the overhead of the browser. I'm fine paying for someone to undertake that additional burden.
