I’m a professional photographer, so...

Even if I wasn’t, I love large prints and we always have some up in our house. Cell phone pictures are fine if you’re looking at them on your phone - not so much at 20x30”.

goalshifted into "it is ok enough for this single type of photo + light".

A daguerreotype was probably superior processing technology than film with paper but it wasn’t convenient or superior enough to remain an option.

That's where we are today, and that's what "better" colloquially means.
