If you're making the same or very similar edits to a lot of shots by hand, you don't have to do that. You can create a preset from one shot's edits, then apply it to as many others as you like in a single step.
Yeah, Photoshop has actions too. See, photographers have been doing computational photography too, this whole time. It’s just that we prefer to put it together with a general purpose tool, rather than what formula Apple or Samsung has decided would be best.
Which is the point I failed to touch upon in my smartassed earlier comment about the macro rig. We use most of (maybe all) the same transformations in a tool like Lightroom, but prefer to compose them by hand precisely because the assumptions made by phone camera ISPs are not at all guaranteed to hold over the range of raw images we use our cameras to produce. (They don't even hold over the range of raw images people use phone cameras to produce!)
