The image says 4800x3600, so that's 17.3 megapixels. All those phones that say 50MP or 100MP, they actually don't actually matter or mean much. You kind of disproved your point. Unless someone was writing off phones above 12MP or something, and even then this pictures is a bad example of that.

I went from 20 (sony xperia) to 12 (s10) which was a huge difference in detail. Could read license plates from 30 meters away on the 20 mp pictures.

That's what I was saying 12MP to 20MP is a big jump, but above that is just fudged numbers and not the actual detail that the phone can produce? And What was the context of someone saying megapixels don't matter?

Also, did you try lowering the Xperia picture to 12MP to see if it is still readable. Because that would drive the point home more if it is no longer readable.
