The reddit post addresses detail, dynamic range and low light performance (and depth of field control, to a lesser extent). These are the things you’d expect to be the main advantages of a camera with bigger sensor, such as a DSLR, so it makes sense to focus on them. Subjective preferences for the ‘look’ of a particular camera or lens obviously exist. However, as they are subjective, there is not much to be said about them when comparing equipment or advising someone on which equipment to use. Anyone can just look at some sample shots and decide for themselves. In this post you play down the importance of detail (“a very small attribute, detail”), whereas in your original post you describe being “simply gobsmacked at not just the content but also the quality of resolution…” of the photos you saw. You seem very sure that there must be something inferior about phone cameras, but you're frankly all over the place when it comes to saying what this thing actually is.
