It's not ridiculous for a non hobbyist to assume you need "good" gear to get good results. They are literally ignorant.

Also, good gear helps. But if you don't know what you're doing, then the best gear won't do you much good.

I was around cameras all my life, but I only when I bought my first dslr, I started to actually think about how each setting would influence the photo, and I eventually had lots of fun playing around with different settings, motives and eventually photography became an hobby of mine.

What I am trying to say: hobbyists may not need "good" gear, but they still need the "right" gear, i.e. gear that makes the hobby enjoyable.

Well, camera phones equipment determines photo quality. Typically that's the only exposure to photography so I understand why they are asking these questions .
