Quite.

I don't think the mobile team is the first to encounter this issue. It looks
like [[mw:Extension:LastModified]] uses "last updated".

There's also a tangential issue that this date can be incredibly misleading: I
don't know many users who would read "last edited 4 hours ago" and think that
this was the result of no edits in 2013 (or perhaps even in 2012), but a single
act of vandalism and a reversion in 2014. Technically the page was last edited
4 hours ago, but I don't see how we're serving readers at all in this case.
