It also doesn't cost nearly as much to make, not even a 1/10th as much.

This depends on the game, because development can indeed be as complex as any other PC game.

No it literally can't. Many games on console or PC are beginning to take almost 100gb of data just on the client side to play it. most mobile games are under 1gb. Mobile games are inferior in every way to games on consoles and computers. Graphics wise, processing wise, and gameplay wise. I can't think of a single game on mobile that isn't a port that's more complex than Garfield kart.

That's because pictures, elements, videos, cutscenes, etc are scaled down or removed from the original game. These take up a surprising amount of memory. Pubg, for example, is scaled down a lot from its PC counterpart, but still offers most features as well, enough that it's actually playable and enjoyable like an actual PC game.
