These are good points. I'm not sure what you mean by "responsive" Do you mean speed? What draws me the most to it is the way it displays a portfolio. I don't see getting galleries to look as large as this on a WP blog with say a prophoto theme or am i wrong?
Responsive is when you resize the browser window, open the site on a laptop, 30" display, 17" display, ipad, mobile or whatever, the site resizes and fits the window. Its not the same as mobile ready sites. Mobile ready sites usually are a fixed width and will not resize to fit the screen. You have a desktop version that is a fixed width and then the mobile version that fits to the mobile device.
Take prophoto blog, which a lot of people use and I used to use. Great company that makes an amazing product. but when you create the site, it is fixed to the width you choose. So if you choose 900px wide, that's it. it doesn't resize to bigger or smaller. When you view a prophoto site on an iphone or ipad, it will go to a mobile version of it, but it is not the same.
A responsive site will resize and be the exact same on all devices.
Take my site for example. Pittsburgh Wedding Photograper Resize your browser window and watch how it fits the content to the browers size. Then look at it on a smart phone or tablet. It resizes to fit and is not a separate mobile version. This is what I like best about responsive design.
Hope that helps.
