Easy:
Cellphones do quite well if you are dealing with well lit scenes where you want a deep depth of field and a field of view similar to a 28mm on full frame. For most people that is all they will ever need or want. An example recently for me was when I went to my son's school band concert. A bunch of other parents I know through scouts asked if I could also take pictures of their kids as well. They had various modern phones with good modern cellphone cameras. Before it started and at the beginning I stood in back with my 300mm f/4 and K-3 they were where ever in the audience. They got grainy somewhat blurry images where you could find their but they were tiny. I got sharp lower noise images where each kid filled a large portion of the frame.
You mention keep rate which seems to be highly depending on ones own ability to frame a good picture and for that gear doesn't matter. If the keep rate is bad because of motion blur or missed focus then it is probably shooting technique and settings. A 3mm focal length lens even at f/1.2 focused at something even a few feet away gives a huge depth of filed, yet a 28mm lens, having a similar field of view on full frame, will have a much shallower depth of field so missing the focus is a lot easier, especially with autofocus where your DSLR will be using phase detection while the cellphone is using contrast detection. Cellphones will also crank that ISO up to their maximum (usually around 1600) so that they can get the exposure length down and then aggressively apply noise reduction.
