In case of DSLRs, and their mirrorless offspring, the purpose and the target audience's need is to capture light as good as possible, using a combination of precision electronics, optics and mechanics, to be edited later. They threw in some basic editing functionalities, various image formats and what not, but those are not mission critical.
Smartphones are lacking the optics, sensors and some other things a real camera has. As a result, they are still a far cry from replacing mid-level and up cameras. Smartphones, as the article points out, are perfectly sufficient for the compact and point-and-shoot market, and as a result killed it / took it over.
And heck, the ergonomics of Nikon blow any smartphone / app way of setting up a camera out of the water ever since before Nikon got serious about DSLRs.
