Numbers about usage of the "Mobile Platform" field in Bugzilla do not support
that statement - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41197#c5

I agree with that and I personally don't consider separate fields for "Mobile
Platform" and "OS" useful at all, but as far as I know the Mobile team wanted a
separate field once upon a time (before I joined Wikimedia).

The fields are going to die once we move from Bugzilla to Phabricator anyway.
