I think mobile first was created to force people to think about whats important on the website and whats not. Whats important is content and it has to be everywhere - mobile, desktop, whatever. If something is not important enough to be on mobile, its safe to skip everywhere.

Thats how i always explained mobile first to myself - stripping bloat. But im extremist when it comes to removing bloat so maybe im too biased.

Exactly .. that's what I tried to say about choosing the important features , but you can see the use of the desktop screen size in many websites .. maybe the unimportant features would be a photo gallery, more ads on the right and left sides. Even in google right now there is a game in the logo that you can play by click the logo, but in the mobile site, clicking the logo will redirect you to another page to play there, so you can see how google made use of the desktop screen
