What other platoforms have better opportunities for indie developers?

  For applications, I've heard more devs are going back to web first, but I'm mainly familiar with the game scene, and indie game developers have had a lot better luck with Steam, the Vita, and most recently the Nintendo Switch than on mobile for the past several years.

    That used to be the case for Steam if you could get your game in, but the impression I’ve heard more recently is that it’s become more of a dumpster fire of unfinished shovelware. Throw something together from unity asset store pieces, call it early access, and see how many suckers you can get. There are occasional breakout hits, but discoverability for indie titles is minimal. Plus their revenue cut is (maybe not confirmed, but widely speculated to be) the same as Apple’s 30%.
