Monkey Island 1 & 2 on iOS broke several iOS releases ago anyway and never were patched again unfortunately.

Such a drag that Apple doesn't care at all about app compatibility and happily breaks iOS games every year, offloading a maintenance burden on developers, who have to keep updating their games/apps for every new iOS release just to keep them working at all.

The 32-bit apocalypse didn't help and I think it might have been what specifically killed the Monkey Island games on iOS.

Then Apple went to macOS and broke the 32-bit game libraries on Steam and the Mac App store...

MacOS would need a Tb of disk space to store all the emulators and libraries if every CPU architecture would have to be supported indefinitely. And Macs would be more expensive than they already are.
