Smartphone Camera is not as good...but?
Can the smartphone camera replace the big cameras? It is like asking if a normal sedan can replace the sports car which is really a non argument.
When you consider the things you do might not need the precision and quality for some genre and in fact gave you greater joy without the bulk, maybe the sacrifice can be justified.
Some genres definitely are still best taken with a camera like sports, performances, fireworks and astro just because the ergonomics and sensor quality helps the user more but for the majority of shots, a smartphone is enough for some users.
In the last six months after trips abroad using two phones, vivo x300 pro gave me the flexibility to shoot far and wide with precise colors while Oppo find X9 pro gave me the Hasselblad/Leica aesthetics in portraits and food shots.
My trusty Lumix S5 is still there for astro and fireworks and shots that require good AF tracking with reach. I managed to shoot a jungle fowl and a Koei amongst the Sakura blooms using the Vivo but the ability to catch those is honed by using the Nikon system over the decades.
In the end, choose the right tools for the shots and you will go far. But sometimes using a bad tool might train you in ways big cameras have made it convenient. Of course the reverse is definitely true as well.
