Basically, it's not really the best way for people to browse this kind of stuff, and there are still lots of people without phones/tablets. You can get a much better picture of things with PM maximized on a 20" screen than you can with a 4" one. The phone is more of a backup for when you're on the road or in a pinch.

My girlfriend is looking for an apartment in Houston, and sometimes browses Craiglist with her iPad.

Yeah, the iPad is a pretty good substitute for those that have one (and I'm happier with the PadMapper iPad app than with the phone apps).
