Interesting to see the comments of the purists. Glad they can lug around many pounds of camera, tripod and lens in their macro shooting. Me? I'm glad to have a lightweight tool that takes pictures that are "good enough" to remind me of my adventures.

Here you hit the point. If the reason of taking photo is walking around at the first place.
But there is another kind of going outside. Not with walk reason but for getting photo (in the best case the good photo).

I would say that in the first case it is really useful to have mobile phone (but there is not reason to say that it has anything with macro). And in the second case it should be more conscious activity with technique.

For example from my experiences, i am walking around with mobile phone still in my pocked. Sometimes something or some place is intereseting so much that it push me come back with better equipment with many and many kilograms of weight. And for example returning is connected with looking to better light conditions too.
