True, though the better a camera is, the easier it is to take better shots. For instance, if you've only used point-and-shoot cameras and phone cameras, then you try out a nice pro-sumer or pro DSLR, it's amazing how much better your photos look just by switching cameras.
I don't know - I have a bunch of the "prosumer" Sony full-frame cameras (A9, A7RIV) and I usually take all my family and vacation photos with the phone camera. I only pull out the full-frame when the conditions are right or I make a dedicated effort to take "good photos".
Smaller cameras are imo better tweaked for immediate output, pro/sumer cameras are tweaked for "more options in processing". Sure, some point and shoot cams had AF issues or you might not like their color presets but imo they often take better shots in general (when you don't want to post-processing time into them!).
Imo, photos taken with proper camera take work to make the images really look good. The end-result can be a lot better but straight-out-of-camera a phone is better tweaked for "good enough", even though the "full potential" output does not compare at all to a full-frame cameras full potential.
