Given that responsive design has only been around for a year or so, I think that 0.01% is probably an over-estimate. It's easy to imagine that everyone works to the same standards as we all do but we are actually a tiny minority. The vast majority of websites are not standards-compliant, not accessible and not responsive. And this will not change any time soon because there are so many amateur website designers out there.

The issues that we typically see are where the content expands off the screen to the right but it is not possible to scroll far enough to see it. Obviously it is possible to design sites that don't do that, but these issues are increasingly common. It never happened in the pre-responsive days.
