In my experience, every camera enthusiast has way more lenses for his dedicated camera than any phone will ever have. You do know, that you change the lenses of real cameras for different focal lengths and zoom factors? You can’t do that in phones. So they need multiple. Also they are so tiny, that there is no space for making them with variable zoom.
