It really boils down to this. A lot of people have enough pocket space to need no bag most of the time, so having one just for the camera is extra grating.
What suprises me the most is that on the other side, smartphone photo UI hasn’t progressed much from the early days. A lot of my shots that fail on smartphone are because of the controls. The cycle of zooming/framing then locking focus and/or exposure is still a pain, adjusting exposition, forcing an ISO setting that could result in a bad photo is out of the window. I ended up bringing an old DSLR on random walks when I might want to capture stray cats and don’t care about the extra bulk.
All of these are easier to do with third party apps, but those aren’t available on quick access. And taking photos out of quick access is so slow. A DSLR is ready instantly from power down, we’re happy if the phone instantly unlocks.
