Why do smartphones have triple-quadruple cameras when “dedicated” cameras have just one? What makes it better and why do we not see the 3-camera setup on actual cameras then?

I have attended a lot of seminars about the construction of current tech so ill chime in. A lot of posters have already said that the multiple cameras are for overcoming the technical limitations.
Or to make the smartphone slimmer, which doesn’t matter if you put a cover over it…
However i have also heard that there is a massive monetary incentive for including multiple: planned obsolescence.
Smartphones are already brittle at the best of times (thanks for the glass backplate apple, really makes a difference in a smartphone cover). How fragile is a camera lens? Now what if you had 3? What if 1 broke your camera stops functioning as it should?
Ah but glass is not hard to replace, unless it is either one big piece or is completely glued. Now you either suck it up or buy a new one because almost all phone manufacturers have adopted the “throw it away and buy new” mentality.
Now to prevent an android vs iphone debate. Apple started this bs and samsung saw how much money it made and now they’re doing it too. Oneplus used to be better, guess what? Money is a powerful thing.
