I could never think of a time when I need my wallet and my phone at the same time. Imagine carrying all that around all the time, whenever you need your phone you have all your credit cards and driver’s license and family photos all in your hand at the same time. How annoying.
I don’t use one myself for much the same reason as you. But I think a lot of people just need their phone and up to 3 cards (credit card, license/ID of some sort), so a wallet phone case isn’t that much bulkier than a simple phone case. Yeah there’s other things you’d put in a wallet, but they aren’t strictly everyday carry things, so you can put them in a separate wallet or purse/bag and only take that when you need it.
For my mom I think she just likes a case with a front cover, and it happens to have space for cards so she uses it. So the “bulk” of it is a direct result of what she’s after (the front cover), it doubling as a wallet is just a bonus.

And you’d have to get a new wallet any time you got a new phone.
