Mobile First Indexing is not about just to get the best performance number at web.dev. The thing is to make really easy-to-use website on mobiles.

How to do it? Well, if you have a new product, I recommend you to build firstly version for mobiles, not computers. It's all because of traffic: people mostly use websites on their smartphones.

In 2021 you can't just convert your UI to phone-sizes. It's not optimizing. It sucks. The reason is people use one product on computers and mobile devices differently.
