Nah. Standalone point-and-shoot digital cameras were never a "key member of the squad" specifically because you only brought them with you when you anticipated taking pictures and never had them around when you actually needed them.
I owned a PowerShot SD1000 (technically still do, if my parents haven't gotten rid of it) and I doubt I took more than two digits worth of pictures with the thing just because, unlike my phone these days, it wasn't part of my EDC.
I had friends and we didn’t have cameraphones back then so I always brought mine with me and I have insane amounts of pictures of amazing times with those friends, a few of who are now dead.
So yeah, definitely “key member of the squad” if you were born before 1990 and had friends
