Aren't photos of extreme conditions some of the most important possible photos though? A camera that can't capture them is badly broken.

Cameras aren't gods. You have to give them a frame of reference (white point)

I'm aware of that. And yet, somehow we have many photos of the recent wildfires in California, captured by cameras, so setting a correct whitepoint is clearly possible.

It's called get a real camera and real optics and not a tiny one built into phones.

I haven't owned an android phone that didn't have a manual white balance function in the stock app.
