Popular sentiment is that UFO videos/photos are fake. With a car crash, you have the aftermath, so you accept the video of the crash as being real. With a UFO, people more often dismiss it even if they lack an alternative explanation. This limits the spread of photographic evidence, and stories from witnesses. So witnesses may have increased, but you don't know about it.
Dash cams, security cameras, and phone cameras all have targeted uses. They are "better cameras" for those uses. But they aren't better cameras for every use. As I was saying about the moon, some shots require more specialized equipment to get good detail. The number of people out with a DSLR and the right lens who knows how to properly take a shot of a flying object and is intently looking for flying objects has not really increased much.

Tech like autofocus, auto-exposure, automatic white balance, and vibration reduction algorithms mean anyone with a smartphone is better suited to capture strange phenomena than even the best photographers from the height of the 90s UFO craze.

The increase in camera phones does not mean we should have definitive proof of UFOs if they existed. Every day people are posting things in the sky that they can't identify on social media, and usually the footage taken with their phone is not good.
