I don't find automated tools particularly useful so my experience of them is relatively limited, but I was surprised to find that SortSite gave exactly the same results on a recent project regardless of the viewport dimensions. For instance, it reported non-compliances that only occurred in the mobile layout even though the desktop layout was being displayed.

FWIW that's one of my ongoing gripes about the Lighthouse-based "Audit"
available in current Chrome DevTools (which uses aXe), as that runs all
audits (including the accessibility one) only in mobile viewport size.
