Yes, "it depends". If you're building something internal and Desktop-only then maybe a Modal can be OK. But for a mobile-first app, you will never be able to test it on all the devices people use so consistent UI/UX is impossible.
If you have ever done any "in the wild" usability testing with older people with older devices (think iPhone 8 form factor) Modals often break the UX. Seen it happen many times, it's super frustrating to the person trying to use it. :-(
