Smartphones are increasingly taking over the compact camera market. What does this mean for the professional photographer?  https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Nikon-to-close-digital-camera-plant-in-China I don't think this really changes anything, so photographers need not worry. I remember long ago, my older brother came home with a Polaroid camera. Wow!, instant photographs. We were all amazed. I'm sure the makers of film were concerned; and professional photographers were looking into this new product. However, it was not a game changer. The same goes with smartphones.
