Responsive design isn't just adding breakpoints.

It's responding to the device and the ways the user will interact with it. For example, the combobox example in Evergreen doesn't actually use a <select> in the background, so users on mobile devices will actually have to use the dropdown implementation rather than the browser displaying a proper native mobile select. That's a much worse experience. Not to mention Evergreen will be completely inaccessible for users who need assistive technology, which potentially poses legal issues...

Did you try it on mobile? It actually does seem to use the native selector and not the custom one for me
I did, and it doesn't on my Android phone.
