I am under impression that some web designers tend to follow the lowest common denominator, which is the vertical mobile touch display, then enforce the same experience across all platforms. This is why I sometimes see hamburger menus on desktop even though they have no place in any possible desktop design. PC games ported from consoles suffer from problems of similar nature.

Do you have examples? I find magazine looking layouts to be beautiful.

Tell that to Google and other big companies :)
