Technologically this is impressive. However, I'm surprised Apple has not done more to port more Indie-Games onto their devices as a strategy to build larger collection of fun affordable games across many genres?

I think they are, most Indi games are using Unity or Unreal and are not pushing the envelope of HW like this one... but these AAA titles shipping (at full console prices) are important for showing that devs can charge real money... many devs do not consider porting as they assume they would need to make the game free to play full of ads for it to work on the AppStore if apple can show that people will pay real money then the market changes a lot for indie devs were the work is not much but they do not want to make the game a horrible mess of ads and in app purchases.
