are you basing that comparison on anything in reality?

Dependent? It's not dependent but targeted. That is the largest market for computers and computer accessories. That's why the PC market is often targeted because the rest of the majority exists.
It always has been since the 90s. Although seeing as games are written for OS not for hardware architecture the reason things run like ass on a phone is because there will be a software translation layer getting the thing to work.
In addition, phone hardware is designed for power efficiency where laptop and desktop aren't as pushed that for for power efficiency.
The 10 year old PC has a much much bigger power budget than a phone. It wasn't until really recently that ARM got anywhere close to x86 performance.
While the phone technically possibly could be better, it would also drain in an hour or two if it was maxed out. And most people have crappy phones that can barely hold 60fps doing nothing so mobile games usually target the lower end devices to maximize the amount of potential players, while also remaining battery conscious.
There's also just not that much demand. Nobody has space on their phones for a 120GB game, and nobody wants to play a AAA game on their phones because gaming on a phone sucks ass and if you're going to dock the phone you might as well get a console.
Mobile gaming has and always will suck.
Depends. I enjoy a card game or sudoku on mobile.
But for real games I use my PC. I don't understand people going crazy about the steam deck too. Who in their right mind enjoys for example Cyberpunk on a tiny screen, that's like watching Dune on your phone. What's the point?
Actually, the answer for small screens is specially for porn games. A lot of people cannot comfortably enjoy them on a laptop or desktop IBM PC, so they need a device they can take with them into their bed so they can comfortably play these.
Unfortunately, the developers did not listen, so people like me risk hurting their neck and back to play these in bed by using a laptop.
Not to mention, my Pixel 7 Pro has a much better display than my laptop.
Are you actually asking why PC gaming is better than mobile gaming???
Mobile games are ad ridden bullshit apps which are about as fun as scraping your balls against razor wire.
PC games have always been superior if your PC is specced well. If not, just play older games.
Except, I am talking about an ultra-low-end business laptop with integrated graphics and 4 GB of RAM...from 2015. Its gaming experience is still dramatically superior to even flagship smartphones from 2022, simply because those smartphones are not IBM PC compatible enough to run any software.
