>>40362051st, builtins are actually literally as old as photography itself.
2nd, most, from the digital era, other than the compact size ones offered no real advantage over interchangeables, even pricewise, and had that disadvantage of being a builtin, so no wonder they were the ones that faded away; they were a technological deadend, because they couldn't evolve with you.
3rd, phones cameras, despite all the post/sw wizardry are absolute shit, but people just use them to post shitty 1mpixel images to fucking insta, something any Nokia could better, so they either don't notice or care.
