To be clear, they're punishing faulty redirects where visitors are clicking on a search result and get forwarded to a completely irrelevant mobile page. Personally, I hope mobile pages in general die a horrible death, but that's probably decades away.
I'm pretty damn confident that the internet decades from now won't be a flat box on a rectangular display like it is today. ;)
In 2040 the net will at the very least be seamlessly integrated into our eye sight though lenses (or even digital eyes for the hardcore geeks), maybe even directly feeding information into our brains.

Like a science-fiction writer, one must be careful with predictive dates. The best algorithm seems to be: take your initial guess and triple it. For example, since 1984 was published in 1949, 3x that would yield 2089, which seems a reasonable time frame to move our society from our current status into the complete dystopia the book predicts.
So your digital eyes should be coming out in 2094 or so, shortly after the Ministry of Truth begins erasing words from history books.
I actually consider it very likely that good visual prostheses/digital eyes will exist already in 2025, 2040 is more than 2x that (2025-2013=12 12*2=24 2013+24=2037)
