Both Apple and Google take 30% cut. There's no way a game developer will want to use a PlayStation or Xbox VM and pay them another 20% (that's what console makers get today I think). They'll rather use an engine that already supports multiple platforms. All app developers are already building apps for Android and iOS without using any VM in most cases anyway.
Microsoft and Sony make billions of $s in revenue from their console platforms. It's not easy to switch to a VM play where you're a "nice to have," not a "must have" and continue making billions of $s.
