In the last 5-7 years I've noticed that mobile games have devolved info always online p2w shit

What the fuck happened?

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

What do you mean, "nowadays"? Mobile games always sucked.

I beg to differ. Angry Bird, cut the rope, where's my water, Space RPG, FRUIT Ninja, and a whole lot more, are classic mobile games in the beginning. They're sometimes simple, yes, but at least there's efforts in it to try to be original.

Nowadays, it's all Freemium p2w cash grab.

That you didn't like them doesn't mean they sucked, look along this thread and you'll find ppl sharing titles worthwhile back then (me included), ofc, this is not GOTY material, but a game must not be a masterpiece in order to be enjoyable, which ultimately is what all games are for, to be an enjoyable hobby.
