Probably by the common mindset that mobile games don't really count for gaming clout.
If i compare what crap games i've played on my PC sometimes to mobile games, i feel that such boundaries are pretty arbitrary. There are some mobile games that can keep up with PC gaming too - Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Hoplite come to mind.
I feel like Puzzle Quest and Gyromancer are "real" games, but somehow Bejeweled and Candy Crush are silly things for little girls and bored housewives. Hell, I think Progress Quest would be considered more legitimate to the kinds of people with this mindset, and that's not even a game.
