This is certainly a legitimate question!
I have a friend who purchased the best smartphone on the market for its excellent rating as a camera. I don't use one for photography, I love the feel of a camera!
DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras have these advantages:
Versatility - the variety of accessory lenses give you a much wider range of photo subjects you can capture with a DSLR. I know several birders who love having a camera with a telephoto lens to capture birds for their photo albums.
Longevity - a good camera can serve you for many years! The lifespan of a DSLR is measured in 'shutter actuations,' the number of times the shutter blades open and close. The typical DSLR will last for between 100,000 and 300,000 clicks. Most are rated for a minimum of 100,000 - 150,000 which is quite a lot of photos for a hobbyist (as I am assuming you are).
Fun - just having a camera will motivate you to get out and have fun with it! Go to new places and do some things you've never done before. (I'll mention the learning curve here....yes, there is a lot to learn with a DSLR, but there are fantastic video courses and books that make the learning easy and fun, too!)
Coolness - you just look cool with a fancy camera! Mine is shiny red and tends to attract attention! It's a fun conversation starter when out taking photo, too. You'll meet other photographers; they'll see your gear and want to chat!
