Correct me if I am wrong, but It seems like most phones now with large amounts of on board storage use a SD-like device soldered to the mainboard.
So they often don't offer access to raw flash even if you wanted to use MTD directly.

May be so - it is probably much easier for the manufacturer. The question is how it affects reliability.
I doubt that the builtin SD controllers can perform very sophisticated wear leveling. It is an extremely difficult problem.
