As a mobile developer, I can see it as pretty narrow minded, not particularly offended but it's hard to deny there isn't a certain subset of developers and gamers who like to sneer at everything mobile.
It doesn't really bother me, most of the time I think it's dumb, especially for developers who are just thumbing their nose at a massive market.
It kind of pretends that non mobile developers are very virtuous people who make wholesome and good games. And no pc software has ever existed that isn't predatory, spammy or outright malicious like that isn't something that hasn't existed on desktop for decades longer.
If godot would want to expand their source of developers to include mobile games, then it probably isn't a good idea to insult them.

But it's continually surprising how many people look down on something that is so mass market which miliions up millions of people have access to, use ever day, anywhere. Even business wise, many companies focus so much on desktop where what they're running could be much better done on a mobile device, you see them used more and more in every aspect of business outside of offices but there are so many office based developers working on pcs who still look on them as toys, and, it's just, dumb
