#2Would suggest the author is conflating a diversity of workflows for a single, monotheistic view.
Professional imagers have large files, and they must post-produce them. Those things like card readers, additional ports, etc. ignore that particular audiences needs. To draw an analogy to another closely relation field in motion pictures, this too is mired in a divergence of needs and contexts. The author of the post would probably cringe at the complexity...
Making a case for XXX workflow should always be grounded in the contexts present. While a professional league sports team only makes up less than a shred of a fraction of active players, the needs of that league are not suddenly insignificant due to share.

#3Not sure what the author is on about, last I checked almost every company offered a wifi adapter for their cameras.
Heck, with my 6D I can share directly to my phone and post to social media just like you can with a smart phone camera.
The thing is for the stuff I want to do, I spend at least as much time in post and doing that on a smartphone would be a huge pain.

Yeah the part about windowed desktop environments gave me some pause and then sure enough further down there was more "if you're doing something other than what I'm doing, you're doing it wrong"

Yes, but for some cameras it is $900.

There's also eye-fi and other options as well. If it's something important for you buy a 6D or another camera that has built-in support.
The thing with camera system is you need to have an idea of what you want to shoot and build your system towards that. The smartphone is a great all-purpose camera, if you're using a SLR/Mirrorless it's because you want to go beyond that.

Even if we ignore the wifi feature, most cameras let you connect directly the computer and transfer images. you don't need SD card slot or a dedicated card reader.
I have a full frame camera and the raw images are ~30 MB. I wouldn't want to transfer 32GB of data over wifi anyway.

Here's the context: camera makers are getting the shit kicked out of them. The market is plummeting. It caters to the myopic needs of people who want to pretend that, to be a photographer, you have to work like it's a 1950s darkroom, only with computers.
Compact cameras a being destroyed by cellphones, which is where all the imaging innovation is actually happening. Without the cross-subsidy to high-end cameras, prices for lenses and bodies are going up with every generation, unlike every other tech out there.
But you know, keep pretending it's everyone else who's wrong.

#9My friend shoots using his Samsung Galaxy S7 with an electronically-stabilized Steadicam-type thing, and adeptly edits with Adobe Premiere on the phone itself. And the product looks great. The competition is only going to get harder for you, OP.

#10This is certainly a lot of words, which I think I can summarize as "smartphones are easy and powerful and flexible and DSLRs should be as easy and powerful and flexible too". Which is sort of silly, it's like saying buses carry a lot of people conveniently so all vehicles should be buses or be more bus-like.
And yes, I do think we'll still have SD cards in a few years.
