Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market

Is this even true? I thought more people used Android phones?

Perhaps you mean in the US, I hear things are different there.

Apple might be getting all the profit, but I really wouldn’t compare iOS gamers to Steam gamers. Feels like vastly different use cases for the types of games people buy (unless there’s people out there playing Candy Crush on a deck, which…. Why??)

Even in the US it's not "cornered," it's 53% iOS, 45% Android and 1% other.

It's more useful to look at sales dollars in this context. Apple absolutely dominates in most desirable markets at its chosen price bracket.
