PC mods and Mobile mods?

I have a question which will be easy for the people who've created both Android and Computer mods.
Why isn't a PC mod download compatible with mobile data or vice versa (rare)?

    @DemonSniper8 is that sarcasm?


    Essentially it's the same reason you can't run a PC application like Microsoft word on your phone. Sure you can download a mobile version, but you can't just copy on the PC version. They are two vastly different platforms. What happens when a mod is exported is the code is compiled. This means turning source code (which is readable by humans, and makes sense to programmers - however computers don't understand it) into machine code, which is a lot less human readable, but a computer can easily understand. However some platforms such as android vs pc have different "languages", if you will, and the same source code needs to be compiled separately to run on each platform. Sorry if it was too long.

    There are several differences between the mobile and PC versions of this game.
