I didn’t say that both mobile and desktop users have to have the exact same experience, just that mobile users shouldn’t have a lesser experience, and further explained that a lesser experience would involve reduced content, functionality or fidelity.
Your point about the top navigation is absolutely on point—there is no way you’re going to cram that nav into a tiny mobile viewport. But you can reconfigure it into a mobile friendly hamburger menu, with clear and clean UI. No missing content, functionality nor fidelity.
When you design for mobile you sometimes have to remove content or features that would not work on a mobile device.
Perhaps I have taken this too literally, but nonetheless this is the key point I was addressing: we should not (in my opinion) outright remove content nor features for mobile users. We should instead be redesigning the content and features with UI and UX that is best suited to mobile devices. Or, to my original point, design for mobile first to ensure that all content and features are accounted for, then extrapolate and enhance for desktop as appropriate.
