We could certainly have the behavior of :hover change depending on the viewport meta tag or other signals that a page is mobile friendly. I generally try to avoid "modes of operations" like that and prefer to have a consistent behavior.

I was not rejecting your idea of getting rid of :hover for mobile. Just giving my opinion on how I would prefer the use case to be handled.
