I think that most times people do things because they can - not because it is needed.
Videoing with a DSLR camera is about as sensible as taking stills with a video camera!
Phones are a special case, most of us carry a phone anyway, so having a camera / video inbuilt means we can capture ad hoc moments and we don't need high quality for sharing on the web, just the connectivity that the phone provides.
And yet there are significant numbers of people making films for TV broadcast using DSLRs. It amuses me how their DSLRs are surrounded by a plethora of add ons that make them more like Christmas trees....but they do it in preference to dedicated movie cameras. Maybe its unit cost? They cannot be as convenient to handle? With all the addons they are probably just as bulky as a conventional video camera. Don't understand their advantage.
