"Phones have eaten some of the DSLR market" and "it simply doesn't matter now" are not remotely the same, though.

If the OP is talking about the general public's perception, with most of them not being photography enthusiasts, I tend to think this rings true.

If you're a photography enthusiast, then yeah, not true at all.

I can sympathize with OP's post even if it was not precise. I feel like he was dejected about the fact that the mass market has previously subsidized the DSLR R&D and now that that evaporated the future of DSLRs is grim. But I don't think it's quite at the level of horse carriages :)
