I did the same some 10 years ago only to discover I'm too lazy to do post-processing on my timelapse. You can definitely use it to record successions of stills and videos which I guess is part of what phones do. It would be better if there was native firmware support for some of that stuff though, and I imagine that some combination of firmware acquisition settings and accelerometer data would give you the same capabilities as smartphones. Perhaps maybe a secondary camera with a high framerate to get optical flow/camera pose data from? Dunno. You can still do it manually, but give it 3 years and you'll be able to compose that photo from scratch with an off-the-shelf generative NN photoshop plugin anyway. But still I'd say the market for DSLRs will remain the same because their main function (in my opinion) is to capture an accurate representation of reality with predictable errors in pixel space and not in some latent one.
