Sounds like you've used some really bad phones.

A game CAN be designed for a D-Pad or analog sticks. A game CAN also be designed for a touch screen. It can be just as good. Hey, it could be better. Some games play better with a mouse and keyboard (even ones people enjoy on consoles with a much inferior controller setup). Some games play better with a controller (even ones people enjoy on a PC with a much inferior m+k setup). Some games play better with the buttons on a DS. Some play better on a touch-screen surface. Some play better with a VR interface. If a game is made with its control schema in mind, it is good. There is nothing inherently limiting about a phone in terms of playing games.
