Smartphone CPUs are designed to be small and cool.
PC CPUs are designed to be powerful. Power means bigger and hotter.
The two are at competing odds.
If you want a better gaming experience but a smaller form factor, you need something like a SteamDeck. Or a laptop.
It's not that developers don't know how to make mobile games. It's that the games we want to play tend to need a lot of power, and mobile CPUs (and devices) can have trouble providing that.
If you want to play old games (from when desktop CPUs were less powerful than modern phones' CPUs now), then you'll want to look into emulators.
