We're at that point in history BECAUSE everyone has a DSLR in their pocket.
Image quality on modern phones is in large part due to a lot of image processing done by the phone. Multiple photos being taken, combined for least blur and best dynamic range, colour balanced to best represent skin tones etc.
The line between the sort of algorithms that run on an iPhone and inserting a moon is largely philosophical rather than technical. It's an extremely important philosophical line! But the sort of things that have been added are the logical continuation of the sort of work that the camera teams have been doing.
[For context, I'm a Google Pixel owner, but of those three statements the Apple one is the one I agree the most with]
