Game consoles are not general purpose computing devices. People do not buy Xboxes with the expectation of running Photoshop. But people buy smartphones with the expectation of being able to use smartphone peripherals.

Nobody buys an iPhone expecting it to be an open device. You can't even sideload apps on it.
