Why has there not been a solution to the Camera app not allowing pictures to be taken with a black screen ?

One would think that the problem with the camera that has existed for over two years would finally have a resolution with the cost of new iPhones. Why is the problem with the black screen still continuing?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.2.6

It is the common issue of the camera app opening with only a black screen in the space of the screen where the picture should be. The circle on the screen used to take the picture is solidly white, and does not allow pictures to be taken. I’ve researched the issue, and many have to ‘reset settings’ or do a power reset. It is a joke when spending $800 for a phone that cannot be dependable enough to open a camera app.

No, really, it's not that common an issue. If you're having a problem like that, you should take your iPhone to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store and have it evaluated.
