No. A single word. It's that simple.

If you want a longer answer, have two words: sensor size.

The push to ever thinner devices combined with ever increasing pixel count makes things only worse. Cramming more pixels onto a smaller die makes each individual pixel smaller, thus reducing its light gathering quality. Making the device thinner forces the die closer to the lens which pushes the requirements on the lens optics beyond its comfortable range. Both effects combined result in shitty pictures that the common public accepts as the new norm thanks to aggressive marketing and general ignorance.
