i mean, size constraints, sure. But camera bumps ONLY get bigger, and more unreasonable. Remember the iphone 6? little itty bitty nub. That’s not the case anymore.
apple? (Idk, i dont care tbh) recently unveiled the incredible technology known as “two mirrors” in order to abuse the dimensions of an iphone to get a longer focal length.
Even then, surely you could just put a bigger, higher resolution sensor on it, and then use digital zooming instead. That way it at least pretends to have features. Even then why bother adding more features, it’s a phone, all it’s going to do is be a nuisance at family gatherings. Because for some reason people HAVE to take pictures of everything.
Smaller sensors pick up less and less light, forcing to bump iso. Limiting low light photography or dealing with very grainy low contrast images. Higher megapixel sensors exacerbate the problem because smaller pixels get less area of light
I think it’s a size constraint. Bigger sensors also require larger lenses. In regular DSLR world a micro four thirds sensor, the sensor size is half the size of a traditional full frame sensor. The lenses are also half the size of a fullframe camera’s lenses and require far less glass and weight.
We can fit 3 smaller sensors with three smaller lenses in a smartphone. Trying to make any of those sensors bigger will require more space than a phone can provide.
Because we have to have smaller sensors, digital zoom reduces fidelity of images. Having multiple lenses optimized for various focal points mitigated this issue
I’m no expert just a hobbyist take my word with a grain of salt lol
Digital zooming fucking sucks though and is only as good as the quality of the optics/the sensor resolution. At that point you might as well go schmitt cassegrain instead, especially when you’re taking the top shelf binned sensors anyway.

which would be why i would argue to just min max on the one camera. Overall a better camera, maybe not as versatile, but meh.
