Nikon's 300mm F/2

I don’t think that’s lost in photography today; more people than ever know that and get to experience it thanks to the amazing DSLR and mirrorless ecosystems available. The people that think smartphone photos are good enough are the people that never would have taken photos with cameras anyway.

I don't think that's true somehow: https://www.statista.com/chart/5782/digital-camera-shipments...

Sales aren't necessarily always a decent proxy to usage (and high end cameras are probably less replaceable than phones), but it'd take a brave person to argue that large swathes of the digital camera userbase haven't jumped ship to phones.

I've got an interchangeable lens camera (nothing high end, but a decent MFT offering), and my iPhone 11 smacks it for everyday usage.

It's just one datapoint, but for example the Nikon D750 is the most used Nikon camera on flickr (yeah I know, it hasn't died) and that camera is a few years old now.

Judging an outdated format (DSLR) with an outdated website perhaps isn't the best way to go about it. Instagram would be a better data set.
