Having thought further about this, it comes down to the fact that the panel with the options is hidden off the side of the screen. On a small smartphone screen then this is common, as the size of the screen is a compromise. Users expect to tap on icons at the side of the screen to have other content slide into view.
However, on desktop size there is no need to hide it because space is not at a premium. Indeed, looking at the design of that page there is a lot of space width-wise (on a 26" 16:9 screen with resolution 1360 x 768) and therefore it could quite easily be brought inwards, with the panel of options visible at all times. Thus, whether the panel is hidden should be conditional on the width allowed by the screen.
