I can't imagine wanting to play a AAA game on a phone, but that sounds really impressive. Qualcomm has been dormant for a while. They also had a great opportunity to break into the laptop space with Windows' ARM support getting very good, but they're still doing nothing...
It's easy to not notice the march of time, but it's good to remember that these are all games built for ps4, which is decade old hardware at this point. So this is about expected for the latest mobile hardware.
Alien isolation, xcom 2, genshin impact, divinity original sin 2, then there's games like apex and cod mobile that are effectively console quality but built for mobile first. There's a huge amount of mostly Japanese games in that vein, too. Plus, there's pretty much everything that has hit nintendo Switch. Switch is six year old mobile hardware and runs games like doom eternal. And that's if you count the switch being a six year old hardware given its based on a much older soc.
I know you'll want to find reasons here that none of this counts because they aren't real games or something like that, but we would disagree there. People just typically don't want to play games designed for a big screen controller experience on a small touchscreen so it doesn't happen often.
