The underlying issue is that we use user-agent detection to set some stuff on the server-side, so CSS isn't too useful there (yet).

Well, a little of both. I want to make sure that the "mobile mode" turns on when it should — which for now, it does, as far as I can tell — but also to make it more useful! But...

It's not useless in the desktop view, though.
The problem is that it's difficult right now to show
alternate html in "mobile mode". There's not really any sort of "template" system like other forum systems have, where "themes" can override how certain views are generated, outside of thread layouts... and one of the things mobile mode does is force you to that thread layout (to make it easier to read threads).
You can actually see a list of what it does
here (
specifically).
A lot of things that would make mobile more usable would also work fine on the desktop, like changing the "mood avatar" selection from a list of radio buttons to a <select>, changing the thread page links, that sort of thing. Some CSS to make links bigger would also be nice, but I'd have to figure out how to make sure that it only affects links outside of posts (unless people would be fine with links showing up larger everywhere, which probably isn't too bad I guess)
It's just time and development work
