Forum is also available for mobile and desktop users, so this is technically incorrect. Discussions is designed to work better on mobile first and then being adapted for desktop. You can tell this because everything in Discussions is huge and uses space very inefficiently on desktop. Wikia is prioritizing mobile for Discussions and they think growth in mobile justifies it.
