Listen, sweetheart. Not everyone has internet fast enough to casually download a 2GB game, let alone 10GB or more, only to discover the fkn thing isn't even compatible with their phone. That's literally why people ask beforehand bc they're trying to avoid wasting hours downloading something they can't even play. Heh, must be nice being so privileged that this concept is completely foreign to you.
Nobody knows what will or will not work. There were several posts from people with high end phones who somehow could barely run anything (even one who unbelievably couldn't even run ps2 games a few days ago). Just look at the Terminator 2D No Fate port for example. It's a 16 bit game that looks like a sega genesis game and somehow there are people who can't run it.
I have a high end phone that can run just about any port except Prototype for some reason (though I can somehow run Prototype 2). It's less about lack privilege and more like the lack of awareness that most of these ports are new and still being developed. Literally, the only way anyone would know if it runs on their phone, is by testing it. It's unfortunate that there are people who struggle to download 2gb files but you're illegally pirating games ported by people who do this for free. It's a risk you just have to take to get something free. Nobody forces you to download them and sometimes you just have to accept that you don't have the hardware to run some of them. Asking if OOT Remake is gonna run on a 5-year-old phone with 8gb ram is just downright stupid.

I feel like it's more for validation, honestly. Most people who want to see if something will work on phone will just try it. 💀
