Should every application work on all device types?

Survey period: 1 Feb 2016 to 8 Feb 2016

The Universal Windows Platform (for example) aims to allow users to "use whatever device is most convenient or productive for the task at hand". This doesn't mean the app is the same on all devices, but that it works and presents itself according to the current device. Is this sensible for all applications?
