Your personal preference for GTA V over Candy Crush is fine -- we're all entitled to our own likes and dislikes. But it's foolish to conclude, apparently based on your personal preference, that Candy Crush is trivial to replicate or less deserving of the money they've undoubtedly worked hard to earn.
AAA developers aren't entitled to make more than mobile games.
Even if you're not among them, I'm sure there are plenty of players who elected to make IAPs and are more satisfied with their purchases than if they'd spent their money on AAA games. To throw one more anecdote on the fire, I'd happily pay $60 for all my time in Candy Crush ... and another $60 to NOT have to play GTA V instead (just not my cup of tea, though some friends swear by it ;).
Your opinion is valid, but there's plenty of people who thoroughly enjoy many of the games you've stereotyped as junk. I'm among them; some of them I find good reasons to pay for, and others I just enjoy the free experience. One man's junk is another man's treasure I guess. Stick to what you like; it's just for fun!
