Modern responsive design can do away with almost 100% of media queries. I used one single media query for one element after spending several days trying to write formulas to handle a weird edge case. I dislike media queries.
You might be pretty disappointed by the defaults in many cases: it’s extremely common to start with styles for the smallest viewports (“mobile”) and use media queries to add larger viewport variants. I don’t know if you’re among the same people who complain about the overuse of mobile UI techniques on larger screens/devices, but that’s almost certainly what you’d get more of in general.
