Why is there not a section for mobile games, would be good to have functionality for this

Because Google Play Store and Apple Store will retaliate.

It's because epic tried to bypass their service fee's that epic agreed to when they put their games on apples platform.

It would be no different if game devs did the same thing here as some have tried and gotten in trouble over.

Steam doesn't have a mobile platform like this as they are primary a PC game company and they would have to come out with their own mobile OS as steam deck is linux and something different.

Exactly. IT will probably happen here if they allow a section for mobile games on steam and if steam promotes them. I think this is one reason steam tries not to put a section for mobile games on here, to not draw attention to themselves.

Yes, steam does have many mobile games, but clarifying it online will draw more attention to it. As it is now, it probably does not draw too much attention at this time.

Steam has no reason to place mobile only games on their platform as they can't run them like that.

There are many such games that are cross-platform games that are on steam with their mobile versions but this falls on the game devs to make sure it functions on both and not a steam issue.

Because Steam is a PC gaming platform that sells games for the PC
