From the company's point of view, Why make a smartphone catered to gamers when you can just make a smartphone catered to everyone else in the world?

Casuals still play games on a non-gaming smartphone...

Which is exactly why having just a joystick would be fine. That would make a ton of games much more playable for casuals and general gamers ... the controllers with the X/Y/B/A/dual analog/d-pad stuff get it wrong because no one wants all that, it's overkill and makes a phone look ridiculous. 

No one wants a starts a three course meal and wine on the menu when they go to a burger joint. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for things like apple pie/ice cream deserts and a fish sandwhich either. 

Adding a joystick to a smartphone would already look weird.. If you don't have a physical keyboard on your smartphone you can't place it anywhere without making it look super strange

Yeah, you could try attracting the gamers with this phone but it actually targets a very narrow range of consumers.. Gamers usually would just go for a handheld and casuals, a normal smartphone. Company's always want to profit so unless there is a demand for this, they will continue to make phones bigger and have a better camera :/
