Article is paywalled so I haven't read it, but surely the reason is not that smartphones are better than cameras as being cameras. The reason is that a) smartphones are good enough cameras for most purposes (e.g. people were happy with 110 film cameras in the 1970s) and b) people already paid for and are carrying a smartphone so they need a compelling reason to also buy and carry a camera (see (a)).
