The only reason? Tech people here have some very self-flattery view. The main reason, and I wouldn't call it the only reason, the phone being an essential item is because it meets the needs of average consumers, not just for the tiny tech population. If a website is what everyone wants, then trust me it will be front and center in any phone ads, not the camera.
