You’d be decreasing overall image resolution.

HDR is as simple as taking multiple exposures and different EV values. It was often down with sheet film cameras, the two negatives being used to create the final print.

Taking multiple exposures is not always simple to perform with good results. It requires a fairly static scene and camera.

And I doubt most people really need effective 48 MP mobile cameras. They could very well do with more dynamic range though.
