What is the point of using wide lens if I could step back?

Possibly, distorsion is a common thing with wide angle glass. Glass for phones isn't usually of the same optical quality as glass for cameras and there are perspective issues. But in the right situation sure it can work

I love that they tried to save the cameras before they helped the photographer. I'd do the same thing...
