I could actually work on it. Good luck getting any reasonable IDE experience, a compiler, a debugger, etc working on Android or iOS. Real image editing, the Godot editor, Blender, web dev tools, LMMS, etc.
The most limiting bit about phones is the OS itself. You could hypothetically get most of these things working on phone OSes, but only for a massive amount of effort to port something for a single-digit number of users. I don't even know how you'd get a compiler going, but I suspect it would be a non-starter on iOS.
