I suspect it wouldn't be a lot of effort to make android chrome have the full desktop UI. The Chromium codebase is all one piece, and rendering of the UI is already unified between mac/windows/linux, so making the android build render a desktop-like UI is probably a simple job. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the right set of build flags can do it already.

If I plug my s24 to my dock, I can use it with my big screen, most apps don't have a problem with this mode.

It's not just about rendering sizes. There are no extensions for Mobile Chrome, as an example.

I think that was a business choice to prevent adblockers and web-extension-malware.
