Just like stores stopped selling mobile phones and tablet PCs since every app is digital anyway.
Oh wait they didn't.

Stupid move. There are still peripherals that can be sold. Xbox Live and Game Pass vouchers. Third party games, which aren't available on launch on Game Pass. etc.

Do stores make 0 profit from mobile and tablets?

Definitely on some, yeah.
I know this for a fact as my brother used to work in Europe's biggest electronic store and there are tons of device that are sold even at a loss. Especially the ones that are on sale. Just a way to get people into the store and buy something extra.
The real profit comes from other stuff such as cables, peripherals or full priced media.
