There's an entry on the FAQ about the lack of Android/iOS support:
https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#will-you-release-gimp-for-android-or-ios-devices

I can't really help with a comparison.  I only use GIMP occasionally, 
mostly for fairly basic things, and have never used Photoshop.

I'd guess part of the problem with comparisons is that someone who uses 
Photoshop all the time (so already has a license for it) can just 
download GIMP for free, give it a go for a few hours and write a 
comparison.  But they'd perceive GIMP as difficult to use because it's 
not the same as Photoshop and they haven't got used to the differences. 
On the other hand, someone who happily uses GIMP all the time, and is 
really familiar with all its features, isn't so likely to pay for 
Photoshop just to compare it to GIMP.  But if they did, they'd probably 
encounter similar difficulties with Photoshop.  There may well be some 
reviews out there written by people who do use both regularly and can 
make a fair comparison, but the difficulty would be finding them (and 
knowing that you've found them!)
