Photography is, at its core, a democratic medium. This is not something to be feared, it is something to be celebrated. Photography has always enabled people to record what is important to them, at the time, unlike the arts that preceded photography. It is, for most people, about the moment. It hasn't been otherwise since the days when a photographer had to be a chemist and own a mule for carrying equipment.
