You're patently wrong. There are plenty of iPad only games out there. Plenty. FTL is a prime example. Not only does it not run on iPhone but it doesn't run on an iPad 1. It came out late 2014. 

Yeah, there are plenty of iPad-only games out there. I already told you, why: the developers can free decide if they offer the game only for iPad or for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and which models are flagged as compatible. If they flag models with too small displays or too slow SOCs or not enough RAM, they risk a bad user experience and therefore bad ratings for their game... nobody wants that. To avoid that, iOS-models which don't fit the required specs for a good user experience don't get flagged as compatible.

Nevertheless these "plenty" iPad-only games are only a tiny tiny fraction compared to the "universal apps" on iOS. And the universal apps use the same code and don't need to be ported. Please learn what a port is and what a port ain't before calling someone "patently wrong".
