Think of it in terms of modularity. You do not have to carry and think about a camera which will quickly become obsolete (or is already obsolete) compared to superior cameras that are available. Phone cameras are almost uniformly terrible, because they are tacked on as extra features with really no impact on the usability of the phone.
They also take up a lot of room and unless you go for a premium model with decent optics then they're just a gimmic.
SLR photography is a hobby and even an APS-C sensor is seen as just good enough. Canon and now Nikon both have 35mm sensors on some of their camera models. So there's no way a tiny sensor in a phone is ever going to be useful for much more than drunken shots in a pub/bar.
You can get tiny VGA cameras that fit on your keychain if you desperately need a camera.
