I'm trying to figure out why anyone cares. So what if casual mobile games make more money? McDonald's makes more money than a fine dining restaurant. But, I'd still go to the restaurant 10 times out of 10.

Because the more lucrative the mobile business is, the more potential console projects will be turned into mobile projects instead. Capcom for example invested a lionsshare of their finances into mobile a couple of years ago (one of the reasons why there was no money to make Street Fighter 5 at the time).
Unfortunitely for Capcom, it turned out to be a failed venture into mobile.

Yeah, because Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are about to dissolve their entire hardware business and put their developers strictly on mobile development.  Do people even think before they ask questions?  So, why hasn't every fine dining restaurant shut down their high end foods operations and sell only easy to make garbage w/ low quality produce/meat?  Why hasn't Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Mclaren, Bugatti, etc... given up making high end luxury or supercars, and just make carbon copies of econo lines?

As I said, still trying to figure out why anyone cares.
