> almost like some imaginary need for a specific shutter button to press to take a photo on a phone (just touch the screen!).

I've always wanted a shutter button on my phone, because of what it would imply: the ability to take a picture instantaneously, as the first action that wakes the phone from sleep. I often miss shots because of the six seconds required to get from my phone being in my pocket to having the Camera app open.

Got an iPhone?

1. Pull out phone. 2. Press power button. 3. Swipe the time left (don't unlock) 4. Press volume down button to take photo.

Two seconds tops from photo op to photo!

Note: You don't have to swipe the time, you just want to avoid swiping a reminder and the time is an easy and guaranteed-to-work target.

You're missing the point. All phones have a camera shortcut.

OP's point is you shouldn't even have to have an additional step, however short it is.

Imagine though the millions of photos a phone would shoot in a pocket.

My xperia has a dedicated camera button.
