Jacob's point is a good one, but I think there are also other factors at work here.

I would add that the Mac OS has a relatively small percentage of the PC market, I don't think it's above 10%. Not many developers are going to develop software for such a small market. On the other hand, there are a lot of phone running iOS on the market, therefore it is a very large part of the smartphone market.

Also, I believe phone games are much easier to develop than Mac or PC games, in terms of resources (dollars and man-hours). Therefore you'll get more games for iOS than for Mac simply because it's cheaper to do so (and the market is much larger).
