I would argue that the problem with gaming on android isn't as much the quality of the games as it is the quality of google play.
Most games on the platform are not something I'm interested in, and while that goes for any platform google aggressively don't care about my preferences and would rather use most of the available space for ads instead. Sure, it has an algorithm suggesting stuff to you, but when "no" isn't an answer the algorithm isn't really useful to me (which is by design). There's no search for tags, no way to filter and even searching for the exact title of a game will present you with several other games before the real result shows up.
It also doesn't help that the ratings system is terrible. When (almost) every game has a 4.1 rating it isn't really of much use.
