That's why you should compare languages in proper environments, not make an irrelevant point about some mobile development platforms.

Is it irrelevant to creativity in programming and whether or not people use Lisp that the most commonly used computers in the world can't be programmed?

Yes, because that's not an issue with Lisp and therefore irrelevant for the comparison between Lisp and other languages.
