I think that is a bit unfair, I use Discourse quite extensively over mobile as do many others, we have spent enormous amounts of engineering effort making sure the mobile story is great. To add to that you can do everything over email (reply, like, open topics etc) which also captures a bunch of use cases.

We plan to add support for push notification in a shell mobile application. However, the current experience is far superior to many other mobile sites I have seen and use. You achieve much of the notification over email anyway.
