The inverse has been how wowed I am when a camera is better than my vision. Night mode and giant aperture ratio lenses both wow me.

Mirrorless cameras may have been delayed if it weren't for the competition with phones. DSLRs were only around a few years before camera phones.

Lenses in general can make things larger than with normal vision, so why are you so surprised?

Not larger or smaller, I mean better in low light. Large aperture is very different from large focal length.
