So in the 90s you bought a couple of years old at most 9 years old, and your comparison is buying a car now in 2024 that is 18 years old, for twice what you bought your car in the 90s.

300-400 for an average priced car plus 200-400 of car insurance

Car insurance is getting super expensive even more so for younger folks. My renewal came in with GEICO and they raised my 6mo premium from $2500 to $3300. So I got a bunch of quotes from different companies all of them were around $3500-$4000 matching the same coverage. It's insane.

I think it's a size constraint. Bigger sensors also require larger lenses. In regular DSLR world a micro four thirds sensor, the sensor size is half the size of a traditional full frame sensor. The lenses are also half the size of a fullframe camera's lenses and require far less glass and weight.

We can fit 3 smaller sensors with three smaller lenses in a smartphone. Trying to make any of those sensors bigger will require more space than a phone can provide.

Because we have to have smaller sensors, digital zoom reduces fidelity of images. Having multiple lenses optimized for various focal points mitigated this issue

I'm no expert just a hobbyist take my word with a grain of salt lol

Then buy a smartphone that doesn't prioritize the camera

Smaller sensors pick up less and less light, forcing to bump iso. Limiting low light photography or dealing with very grainy low contrast images. Higher megapixel sensors exacerbate the problem because smaller pixels get less area of light

Don't images also link back to the original instance?

You can use the terminal commands to automate tasks, build cicd etc. Navigating file tree and performing tasks is much quicker once you get the hang of it. Lastly it translates well on all distros and even on Mac, or windows with wsl or cygwin
