>Phone photos are extremely limited in every other way that matters, eg thin dof
By not having an interchangeable lens mount, yeah phones are quite limited. There's no denying that but to say they have thin DOF is incorrect. They all have extremely wide apertures but their physical size is tiny, so the DOF is actually quite deep. They perform similarly in DOF to your typical DSLR lens wide open, which is pretty narrow but not unusable.

Not being able to stop down isn't ideal but so long as you focus on the subject your shot should look okay and phone DOF/aperture shouldn't be an issue.

>telephoto
Small sensors usually benefit from a crop factor, making telephoto easier than wide angle.
Besides that there are a bunch of phones that now have secondary lenses/sensors made for telephoto use and some have had physical/optical zoom.

>close focusing
A bunch of phones have macro lenses capable of close focus.

>flash
Cameras win here but some phones actually have a decent flash. Some are quite advanced and will match the color temp of the scene you're shooting in, if desired.

>SOOC jpgs looking like shit on phones is not a non issue either when most major camera brands have great camera jpgs.
If you use an app that lets you turn off the hideous post-processing smartphones can have decent SOOC JPEGs, but you'd need to use a 3rd party app. Easy, but not something you can expect from a normie user so unfortunately yeah most people do get "stuck" with shitty SOOC phone JPEGs.

>Just being able to swap between a fast prime and a standard zoom, or use an off camera flash, beats phones IMO.
Definitely but these are subject to change.
One day a phone may come out with a sensor behind glass, allowing 3rd party lenses to be used or even some way to allow MFT lenses to be attached. If unused, it wouldn't have to add any "bump" to a phone, and putting it to use can be as simple as a 3rd party case with the lens mount/etc on that instead of the phone.
