Apple makes three arguments for lack of 10x optical zoom on iPhone 15 Pro Max (9to5mac.com)

People hardly ever use 10x zoom
10x optical zoom is hard to stabilize
Aperture trumps zoom

It looks awful on devices that have optical zoom, too. There isn't enough light for computational photography to bail out the shitty physics of any of them.

Seriously, getting something serviceable out of 1x on a bright day out of that little tiny sensor and lens already takes a boatload of math. The input data isn't good.

I would accept that as an explanation if it was the one they gave.
