I haven't seen any browser on a non-desktop-like system able to at all compare to desktop browsers akudood;

Regardless whether they're on a game system, a phone, a tablet, etc., they always are absolutely terrible. Some are less terrible than others, but all of them make web browsing feel like a chore and can't be entirely saved by good device specs or mobile-optimized sites. It would at least help if any of them had worthwhile settings pages rather than the minimalist lack of options they all have.

Wii browser is worse than it could be because of being totally unsupported in the sense of having never received an update since its initial release, which for a web browser makes the thing archaic within one year, let alone six. I imagine Wii Remote could potentially be as good as a mouse for web browsing, but not when tied to a system whose browser is unsupported and only runs at NTSC resolution.
Phone browsers are inherently bad because web pages in general aren't designed to be easily-resized because of the arrangement of elements on the page being an important part of the general interface and many pages wouldn't work well as something like a linear stream of information; constant manual zoom adjustment is not a very good navigation method.
Touchscreen browsers naturally have trouble handling distinction between text selection and context menu because of sharing a touch-and-hold input due to lacking a right-click and having unreliable click-and-drag which itself overlaps with swipe-to-scroll. They also can't simulate hover events.
