Ironically that image is terrible example of why a $1000 camera setup is better than my $1000 smartphone, and a perfect example that the photographer is far more important.

Also most folks these days consume photographs on their smartphones and not on larger screen devices.

I’m a prosumer photographer with a fairly sizable collection of high end Canon glass, and I now vastly prefer my iphone (since the 13pro) to my SLR setup

For what type of photography? Seems hard to imagine you'd "prefer" your phone over a nice lenses, but I guess it's less hassle to just use the phone?
