To put this in clearer terms, there's a huge difference between building a model ship on your desk, and building a model ship in a bottle on your desk.
Putting a well-instrumented usable UI together is hard enough without scope creep including doing a UI that's also useable on a phone.

I agree that editing on a small screen-sized phone would be silly. But targeting phones for playback of Wick-created content would be a worthy goal. Also a worthy goal would be making the editor work on tablets if the screen was big enough (iPad, iPad Pro, etc.).
1) Design on desktop, but publish for playing on mobile phones/tablets.
2) Design on iPad/tablet with connected keyboard. Play on tablet/phone with or without keyboard. (A phone would probably be too small for the Wick editor, but I can see it being useable on a larger touchscreen.)
