An eloquent and considered response! I can see it from both POVs: in many situations (think weddings, fashion, sport and wildlife as mentioned), the client might want both film footage and stills. Why pay for both when very high quality stills can be extracted from high-frame-rate video, meaning you'll never miss the decisive moment? On the other hand, if your primary aim is stills, who wants to sift through hours of film footage, trying to decide between dozens of nearly identical frames?

Obviously straying away from camera chat now. But yeah - it’s a pill that was hard to swallow at first, but I use it more than any other device I own. iPhone 8s aren’t that much cheaper. I did try a cheaper non-iPhone but just didn’t really like it.
This phone is unbelievably capable. Good value for money if I really consider what I do with it/how much I use it. I know cheaper phones can do the same thing, but this just does those things really, really well.
Also, the comment above about still photography dying. Nonsense.
