Likely because editing on desktop is much more common and so gets the majority of the focus. A comprehensive photo editor for a mobile platform is probably just too niche to attract enough developer interest
Amateur editing on a phone probably out weighs desktop by orders of magnitudes. Most people don't use desktops outside of work and education.
Unfortuantely, how I see it, FOSS devs are more likely to cater pro/enthusiast users who are more open to try and support desktop solutions. Meanwhile, indie Android devs are also likely to monetize their work. I can't blame them, though.
Most people I know, including me, edit their photos with Google photos. The learning curve is just do much better.
I just found this. Haven't tried it.

I tried and kept it, very good and basic FOSS photo editor with filters, stickers, text... This one is also good https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox
I saw that in Droidify as Image Resizer and ignored it. Silly me!
The UX is way overly complicated, but it's really powerful. Thanks for posting this.
Yes this one was not under image editor, not easy to find.
Oh my god finally found exactly the kinda thing I wanted with even more than I bargained for.
Yeah UI could use a tiny bit of polishing but it's still very fluid, damn.
These are both really good. Now do video editors!
Yes, at least one good one of each like gimp, kdenlive, vlc...
This one feels a bit outdated, but thanks for sharing.
Krita is available, it may not be great yet as far as mobile friendliness in the interface, but I see they always do work a bit towards that in their release notes so hopefully it can grow to become the best one, it won't be as good as an actual photo editor maybe, but it'll be the closest we can get in the foreseeable future.
For simple edits there is still Simple Gallery Pro
i dont think gimp should stick their name on their own product.
On the flip side, I grew up most of my life only knowing gimp could stand for gnu image manipulation program, and is still the first place my mind goes to when I hear the word
I remember watching Pulp Fiction for the first time and being confused as to why the gimp was called that.
