Indeed, a traditional camera with the post-processing of a smartphone would be incredible.
But indeed, camera manufacturers are way way way behind. The best they can do at the moment is find faces on a picture (and still, not that well except on Sony cameras). This is disappointing to say the least.
The Zeiss ZX1 runs Android, but I don't know how much computational photography it provides, since all the reviews about it only emphasize the fact that it can run Lightroom (which sounds completely useless).

there is e.g. https://magiclantern.fm/about.html for Canon DSLRs that allows you to do some more interesting things, it's been around for a decade or more

Really makes you wonder what could be achieved by combining Google's computational photography algorithms with a bigger sensor and high quality optics. I'm probably not going to buy another high end camera, until I see something like that on the market.
