Why use JQuery at all in this situation? Couldn't you get the same effect with a combination of CSS and media queries?

This seems like a convoluted way to get the same effect. Unless I'm misunderstanding the end result, this seems like CSS would do the trick instead of JQuery. Is one better in this case than the other, and why? Thanks,
