Two entirely different best use cases.

I sometimes like to carry a pair of nice wide-angle binoculars on a hike if I'm anticipating small birds in heavy forest/vegetation.  Easier to spot and follow the little guys through the trees and underbrush than with a very narrow AOV telephoto lens.  Also, it can be hard to pick up critters with an EVF/OVF in some lighting conditions.

OTOH if the birds/wildlife are more distant, then the camera has the clear advantage.  I often snap an image of something, then review and zoom way in to identify.  Having the ability to magnify provides waaay more resolution than a pair of binocs alone.
