I just want to kill some time, I like simple arcade style games that aren't using scummy corporate sales tactics to get me to play every day

Tetris. Pac-Man 256. Brick Breaker Quest. for Tetris at least you'll want to make sure that you've got an adblock DNS set up because it's full of ads otherwise

I’m on iOS and actually pay for Apple Arcade. It’s been worth it. I don’t bother looking anywhere else for mobile games anymore.

It's not an arcade-style game by any means, but I can't recommend "Sky: Children of the Light" enough! My partner and I have been playing it daily for over 4 years and still can't get enough of it. It's hard to give it a proper description. It has a beautiful storyline with new seasonal stories that come out every 3 months or so. You play as a child of light whose mission is to banish darkness and shepherd spirits from a post-apocalyptic land into the stars. However, the real core of the game is the social aspect. It's mmo-adjacent (typical server sizes are 8 players) with other players showing up as other children of light. You slowly make friendships using in-game currency and gifting each other friendship levels. You cannot chat with others at first and must communicate through a variety of emotes until you unlock chat in the friendship tree. The way communication and friendship is handled in the game makes it one of the most friendly and least toxic communities that I've found on the Internet. It's also cross-play and cross-save between Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Steam. That Sky Game

Hill Clim Racer has been a long time favorite. Still works great in airplane mode and well.

Balatro, when it finally gets ported to mobile. It's probably right up your alley.
