> I wonder why there haven’t been any modern sequels or mobile ports of Lemmings...

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)#Legacy

In 2010, it was announced that Lemmings would be ported to the iOS operating system by developer Mobile 1UP. On 29 June 2010, Mobile 1UP reported that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe had presented them with a cease-and-desist letter, forcing them to halt development of the port. In April 2011, Mobile 1UP has released a re-worked version of the work done in 2010 with a prehistoric setting (new artwork, sfx, music, levels) under the name Caveman, available for the iOS and webOS platforms. Brutal Deluxe, the developer who did the porting of the Apple IIgs version of Lemmings, has released the games' source code.

I played a mobile lemmings game on Android just last year. It was completely uninspired and not actually a lemmings game loop.
