Yes, but... a phone you take with you every day is different from an SLR that you take on specific occasions.
Perhaps 20% of pictures I've shot have been on a DSLR, and 80% on phones. By sheer numbers, a really big share of the best shots are from a phone camera. And there's a lot of things that I took pictures of, that there's some rather obvious phone camera penalties from... but at least I have a picture while with a DSLR I would likely not.
It's freeing, too, to not have to choose between "do I lug the big camera today in difficult conditions or get no photos today?"
... I am looking forward to picking up a mirrorless to reduce the barrier a little bit of carrying "the big camera".
