It wasn't stuck on Apple Arcade. There was an Android release well before.

Didn’t 2048 go viral before Apple Arcade even existed?

This has become a bit of a rollercoaster here. Looks like 2048 peaked around 2014, according to Google Trends. Apple Arcade launched 5 years later. So it turns out that it doesn’t line up.

The reason 2048 took over was probably because Threes was only on iOS for a while, and because 2048 was available as a free, ad-supported game while Threes was only available as a paid game.
I got Threes back around Android release, and 2048 was already huge.
