Perfect for carrying it in a pocket sure, not at all great for carrying it around in a hand. A compact camera is wider but shorter in two other dimensions, so it's easier to carry.

True. Hand grip with shutter trigger exactly where my finger rests — can't beat that ergo.

Taking photo with phone is utter horrible. I admittedly can't take a decent selfie with one hand. Even holding chopstick is easier.

Are you using the volume buttons to take a picture? I sometimes find that more ergonomic than tapping the screen.

I use the touch button if holding with one hand. The dedicated button for the shutter equivalent makes the photo shaky! How could that with one hand?
