Well, I'm guessing more people make web apps and other type of applications (like iPhone apps) more than people making games.
There is still plenty of good information to be found on game making at least though.
Making a game is quite an endeavor. There are just so many small things that have to be polished before it can be released.
Making a prototype can only take 2-3 weeks, but building up content is the real time consuming process.
I'm working on a MMORPG for Android and I wish I could speak more about it. It has some unique aspects due to the mobile nature of it.
I'm building a web app now that lets you create maps, quests, characters, etc for the game and anyone can play them on their Android device right away.
The idea is to offload at least some of the content creation to power users so I can continue to concentrate on polishing and adding features to the game.
In any case, it's ideas like these that are interesting to me and I guess like you, feel that they're not really talked about often.
However, there are nugs here and there. I can understand that web apps are just more popular.
