I think the pure concept of responsive web design is that the same exact content is shown at all resolutions, but with different layout. The issue is that exposing that information lets them discriminate between desktop clients and mobile clients.

But with responsive web design, often the way the same content is presented at a lower resolution is by making it less usable, tracking or no. I don't want a site's navigation bar to become a dropdown on my phone, because then I can't see the site content and the menu at the same time.

Ah yeah I get what you mean. I don't do much web dev except what I need to do for some course projects, so take this with a grain of salt. Usually I try to make things scale nicely for smaller displays with bootstrap classes or whatever, but never go to the point of changing something from a static component into a dropdown or some dynamic component.
