Maybe because game costs 60$ while needs hundreds of millions of dollars to make (AAA game). AAA game needs to sell 3 Million copies at least to cover its expenses, after which becomes profitable, so you need to sell 5-10 million copies to be worth it.

Now game for android and ios costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for TOP quality game which even if it fails will not be big loss. So its far less risky.

But mobile market is becoming full of games and many are "shit", same as 1983 crash, we might have another game crash. One thing is sure, hardcore gaming wont die, but might become more expensive!
