Open Teams in a mobile browser and Microsoft says your browser is unsupported and to download the app, but if you request the desktop site it works (lemm.ee)

Of course it looks like shit though. It doesn't size to your screen, it looks like normal teams but really small.

Outlook works in the browser fine, and maybe I don't want to have teams on my personal phone but occasionally want to check things

This is pretty normal for sites that are not set up to look/run well on mobile, tbh.

Yes, but it could have an option to choose desktop version on phone screen or download app.

They could even design a mobile friendly website.

If they are lying to you and you need to circumvent their demands, then that is asshole design in my view,.too.

Who is lying? Sure, you can argue lazy/cheap by not designing for mobile, but as someone who does some web design and does design for mobile responsiveness, it's honestly annoying and I don't blame them.

I'm pretty sure the mobile teams UI is also just web stack with a webview wrapper. They want you to use the app so you have to install intune and to get deeper into your system.
