Well fixed headers are annoying, but I find that considering all sorts of screen sizes has actually improved web design in the most part.
Most sites are better in terms of accessibility and UX than they were 15 years ago, which could be attributed to more diversity in devices that developers need to deploy to.

Yeah, no. Considering all sorts of screen sizes usually means considering all sorts of mobile screen sizes and depending on your browser width, which oversized, overpadded elements will disappear.
And woe to you if you are using a low DPI desktop screen and do not want to have your browser window maximized, because suddenly your 23" or 27" monitor gets the shitty mobile UI.
