Because the thinness of a phone and the optics of a real camera are mutually exclusive. Anything with proper optics is going to be way too chunky to use as a daily driver.

- 6gvONxR4sf7o 2y agoIs that strictly true? If you want it as thin as today's flagship phones, sure, but if you just go for pocketability, it might not be. There are some fantastically compact, perfectly good prime lenses out there. The top end point-and-shoot lines haven't been updated in ages, but even the old ones were are a pretty damned good compromise.
