The advance of technology has always sorted out the "wants" from the "needs". Once things get "good enough", you stop looking for more performance, and usually cost becomes more important, with other factors like size and weight contributing also. In my opinion, what cameraphones have done is separate out those who didn't really need more camera in the first place. If their capability increases, they might take more of that, but it will be hard to get around the fact that more sensor or lens will generally give you more photons to play with, if you really need them.
I have to wonder how big a niche action cameras are... GoPro is the name in the space, and no one else seems to have made much of an impact trying to join in. I guess you can draw comparisons with stills there, in that dominant player(s) once established are hard to move aside, unless something radical happens.
