The first party camera is designed to be operated by every human being on the planet. Redesigning it to accommodate highend workflows makes as much sense as redesigning a $50,000 cinema camera to accommodate parents who want to record their kid's soccer game.

I believe it could be designed in a way to accommodate both user groups. I don't mind another app but they've always been paid (while writing this I checked and turns out Blackmagic camera is free, awesome!)
I think you should try designing such an app and report back your results.
Most software/hardware goes for one group, as otherwise you'll need to make sacrifices to equalize the experience. It's just not feasible to build something that works as well for average joe as for a professional user, they use their tools differently.
With all of the emphasis they put on the iPhone cameras i think they have considered this and decided against it, at least for now.
