Back when PUBG first came out, I did not have a powerful PC yet. However, I could enjoy the mobile version of the game and, by the time I built my first PC, I had gained extensive knowledge that equated to a good head start. At its height, PUBG mobile was awesome. Moreover, when with friends, we could all just decide to play it together on our phones, to matter where we were.
I was early into mobile gaming, and it used to be AWESOME! It was a platform oozing with potential. Every game that came out on mobile was excellently crafted...until Candy Crush came out. It literally ruined the whole genre.
I wouldn't exactly call Doodle Jump the pinnacle of gaming.
If you play games like monument valley 1 & 2, dadish, 20 minutes till dawn and games similar to that you'll see how polished mobile games can be.
Edit: Game name correction
But the potential was there, not a mtx nightmare in 80 percent of games. I would still say that great games like minedustry or better are still possible nowadays
Not being an MTX nightmare should be the bare minimum, not something deserving of praise.

Rocket League side swipes is undisputed best mobile game on the shitter
PPSSPP but its too hard to use the touchscreen controls for most titles.
There are some pretty decent portable controllers out there though (I.e. Turtle Beach Atom). Plus phone brackets for Series S/X controllers and DS4/DS5.
So there are good controller options, touchscreen controls for games designed for physical controls suck.
But carrying around physical controllers isn't very convenient.
Idk if there are drivers for usb controllers on androids but pixels and the like come with USB 2 adapters so the potential is there.
I've plugged an Xbox controller into a phone before and that worked. I've not had an iPhone since they moved over to the USBC so I don't know about that.
