The problem is the controls. There is a big difference between a touch screen and a keyboard/mouse. Unfortunately few mobile developers get this.

I think a lot of mobile developers "get it", it's just a very challenging problem to solve.

That's why devices like the Open Pandora are good ideas in the first place, since they integrate physical controls and keyboards. Very unlikely that such devices will ever take off on the market, however.

Yeah, this is very true but when we do get titles like Slender, XCOM, Five Night's, and more that are pretty much full clones - I feel like this should be done.
