What would make more sense than blindly prioritizing mobile sites is this:

1) Desktop-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from desktop computers

To be fair, it was misleading that the WSJ article said "Google is changing its search algorithm Tuesday to favor sites that look good on smartphones."
