Absolutely not.
Mandoc output is not optimized for any device.

Which elements or rules in the current HTML or CSS code
make you think it is optimized or it discriminates against
any device?

That makes no sense at all.

The size of the viewport depends on the device and on how big the
user made the browser window.  How the browser uses the space that
happens to be available to it is *always* up to the browser, no
matter whether there is a viewport tag or not - except, of course,
if the author requests a specific viewport size with the viewport
tag, which i'm not doing, and which you do not propose either.

Note that mandoc is specifically *not* restricting the browser's
decision on how to use the available space, and it is *not* requiring
a large width or a large viewport size or anything.  So if the
browser sets an unreasonably large viewport size that doesn't match
the actual size of the device, i don't think you can blame that on
mandoc.

Yours,
  Ingo
