Whether you want to use a terminal emulator on your phone doesn't change whether it's available.
I wouldn't want to use a clumsy web app with dangerous buttons that put me a single mis-touch on a poorly thought out touch target away from messing up/rebooting/powering down a server from my phone either, but that doesn't change that cockpit is available.

You compare it to the options available, which includes both terminals and webmin equivalents.
I don't know if there's much of a space left for cockpit or webmin equivalents though. There's hypervisors with dedicated UIs like Proxmox and oVirt, but that's not the same.
