I'll play devil's advocate here and say it's not objectively "bad". Looking at the analytics of our most trafficked sites the "tween" widths (where 960px falls) are such a small fraction of overall traffic that convincing a client to pay for queries targeting that dead zone would essentially be a non-starter.

Ideally, would every website deliver aggressively optimized experiences across all viewport widths - sure. But at the end of the day someone is paying the bills.

And, admittedly, 90% view and everything seems to be how it’s supposed to be afterward.

My bigger problem is designers probably not using the website on normal machines, but instead on their 4K or 5k perfect color machines and assuming it works everywhere.
