No camera takes better pictures than a D3500.

The extra cost and size, weight and expense are to make it more fun for people who shoot all day, not for picture quality. Expensive cameras make it easier for experts to adjust advanced settings and may offer some odd features few people understand, but the results ultimately are the same. You're paying more for more dedicated controls to make setting the camera easier for experts, for tougher build quality for people who abuse their cameras all day, every day for a living and for extra features most people don't understand and are only useful in special situations. You can pay more for fancier cameras I use for my more serious work, but the pictures are the same. Especially if you have kids in sports, a DSLR like the D3500 is a huge step up from a point-and-shoot or iPhone because it can zoom-in (especially with a telephoto zoom lens) and focus fast enough to track all the action. You can pay a lot more, but no camera does anything significantly better than the D3500 for most people's photography. (Last year's Nikon D3400 is mostly the same, and the previous Nikon D3300 is also the same camera, without Bluetooth but with a slightly more powerful flash. What camera do I suggest for my friends and family when they ask? What's the best camera that can handle every kind of photo situation, but still lightweight and at a low price? Nikon D3400 and included 18-55mm VR AF-P.
