Yeah, this.

Outside, on a clear day? My iPhone rivals my Sony A7ii for SURE.

But in less than ideal situations, I can still do better with the Sony. BUT this is because I'm an enthusiastic amateur with pro-level tools and some modicum of know-how. For an average Joe, those things are probably lacking.

This. If you're at the push-button-get-picture level there's no point to anything beyond a flagship phone. And that's where most people are.
