drag and drop forms from 20 years ago assumed a desktop PC. Today your form has to work on mobile

Help me understand why that is significant, or is that your point, that the viewport changing shouldn't be a big deal. Not following.
The drag and drop your parent comment mentions is used for creating the WinForms application, not for interacting with it. Creating the application is still done on a Desktop PC.
Correct, but the form itself was always a fixed layout, designed for desktop, not a responsive layout where things changed based on the size of the user's display and the input methods available to them
