It's definitively best practice these days and not a fad.

The problem with designing per user-agent is that there's simply to many
different devices and resolutions to worry about. Laptops range from 10" to
17". Desktops from 20" to 40". Mobile phones from 4" screens to 7" screens.
Tablets from 8" to 14". All with different resolutions etc.. Even if you
did a specific design for a type of device it'd still have to be responsive.

Responsive design is the correct solution, but if it's really something
that folks want to be able to do to have a different variant of a theme
depending on the type of device then it's something we should bake into
themes rather than add support for a theme per-client. It should be a type
of device using a client, not the client itself.

It seems to me that what people are actually asking for is a completely
different theme per-client, not a variant of a theme. In that case users
should be shared, but not the SSO session.
