Why do we make double-triple-quadruple eyed cameras in smartphones instead of just improving the specs and keeping one lens?

Frequently they have different lenses for different purposes. Mine has one fixed focus for general use, one wide angle and one telephoto which it switches between depending on what settings/commands I use in the camera app. You can’t stack all of that functionality on one sensor/lens combo in the available depth, nor can you readily swap out lenses like on a dedicated, professional digital camera. So they just build in all three use cases because they’re pretty small and pretty cheap when they’re specialized like that.
