QGIS for android just had basic optimizations for mobile devices and touch screens (which btw were implemented so to allow any touch screen to be used, and not only android) but was very well received and funny enough we still get requests for updating it. - Then shift the focus on the UI and UX and replace it completely. And that Is why we created QField. We originally called it QGIS mobile but quickly changed it to not go against the QGIS trademark rules.

Where does the need for another official QGIS mobile application come from? QGIS quick is based on the extracted core modules of QField so they could be reused for custom applications. QField has over 100K downloads, is fully open source,has pushed QGIS forward by pushing things to QGIS core instead of just to the app. And - foremost - is the origin of QGIS quick and could be ported to iOS with the same distribution caveats like any other QGIS based app. I’d really would rather see some more help coming to QField than investing a lot of time to get to somewhere where QField already is.
