I am surprised Canon, Nikon and the likes did not introduce this (Computational stuff) into their DSLR lines. With the battery space and lesser constraints than a mobile, they have more space to add such enhancements. Heck, they could release an iPhone companion app that does the same with low res pics from the camera. Add detailed lens info that they have and other data about their cameras, they could build a photo super machine. They could have added depth sensors, lidars, etc to accentuate their DSLR lines.

Tell me about it... I did try, but these folks are very conservative. I have also participated in efforts to develop software-driven cameras. It is not easy. Apple makes it look easy, but there's a lot going on, under the hood, and their vast financial resources are a big help.

  As a user of smartphones and a photography enthusiast, I like that computational stuff isn't in DSLRs/CSCs. I want RAW, interchangeable lenses and I want to control as much of the capture process as possible. My smartphone is great for snapshots, far more convenient than a compact camera, and the fact that it now supports RAW is also a bonus! I have nothing to offer but anecdotes, but I'm sure that those interested in photography as an art form want similar control for their camera and a point-and-shoot experience with their smartphone.
