This doesn't actually fix bug #1328183 here. It only changes the agent for plus.google.com but not other sites, so one will still see many ads for using an Android app, instead of just having the mobile sites work.

Shouldn't that be fixed in the webapps directly, rather than having a very large list of hard-coded URLs to modify the UA for in different ways, in the browser itself?

Yes, indeed. Unfortunately we don’t have a mechanism for webapps to specify a custom UA string yet.
