Really? It runs everywhere (browser, mobile), it targets young children (a huge and passionate group), it is absolutely full of content (made for free/cheap by other children).
It is the most obviously successful formula I could imagine.
Don't forget all the predatory money incentives to trick kids into doing more free labor for them
Nowadays I don't think the games are made by fellow children as much. There's whole teams of adults making money off of Roblox games
