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

Unsupported, with a screen not showing what it should means doesn't work, for a non tech user. It's deliberate misrepresentation. This is also called lying.

You can lie by omission. You can lie blatantly and you can lie by inference.

Sure, mobile responsive design can be frustrating. However, they are a giant company with billions in resources. They are not doing it to help users, they are doing it to force app downloads and data harvesting.
