The appalling thing about this kind of client is that you have done the work once, well, in order to provide the best (responsive and presumably gracefully degrading) experience to the widest possible audience. You have been efficient. And then the client starts to chip away at their paid-for superlative UX to make it work on increasingly irrelevant platforms.

The frustrating thing is that they neither understand nor care why this is painful, for they see the surface not the underlying higher dimensions.

There are people who can see beauty in the elegance of physics equations, mathematical proofs, and code; and there are the rest. Clients, on the whole, are the rest.

I'm sorry for your loss. :(
