CSS CSS Grid Layout Flexible Sized Grids Repeat Tracks with auto-fill and auto-fit

Auto-fit & auto-fill actually make your programming harder?

When it comes to having an alternative use to media queries, making your life much easier in a way actually becomes more difficult?

I see how useful this can get when working with information that can be displayed to the user according his/her screen size. Although, my concern comes when using auto-fit & auto-fill if your client is working on a computer.

Since auto-fit & auto-fill always leave a gap, it would be bad because the information displayed on the page will be placed incorrectly no? Is there a way (using grid display) to set a predetermined size for a computer screen where, (if the client's screen size is a smartphone) It will fix the site using auto-fit & auto-fill, but when the client accessed the site on a computer the program will set it's predetermined size?

With media queries, you can have auto-fit/auto-fill at one screen size, but a different layout strategy at another size.
