I have noted that on wider screens the correct attribution is shown but as screen size gets smaller it MAY disappear (to behind the I Icon or similar) on SOME sites or SOME operating systems. I think the size is 600 pixels or thereabouts. Is this the "issue" you really want resolved? Very easy to test on any PC screen. If I rotate my mobile device the full attribution is often there whilst behind some icon in portrait mode.

actually this kind of attribution is provided by mapbox’s frameworks like mapbox-gl-js and if you (as a developer) do not implement your own attribution mechanism you will automatically get (comparatively small) OpenStreetMap attribution that hides behind an i while the (bigger) mapbox logo in the left corner will stay there at any screen width.

WRT an OpenStreetMap provided textmark/icon: this was proposed by mapbox years ago and at the time rejected.
