I am aware that phones dont natively allow "drag and drop" so I agree that my question is naive. Was hoping that Craft added any solution in the backend for touch devices considering that the cms is responsive. Will submit a feature.

Touch screen devices don't "drag & drop" in a traditional sense, because dragging your finger around the screen is generally reserved for **scrolling**. This issue isn't specific to your browser or device, it's the same behavior across all touch screen devices.
