Answer 2

There may be many other reasons, and I am no expert, but here is how I see it...

A wide angle lens creates an image that while dramatic, is distorted. The outer areas of the scene will be "pinched", while the center area will be enlarged. Think of a pincushion effect. To see this in action, take a portrait of someone with a wide-angle lens - the lens will make their nose look gigantic (assuming it is near the center of the photo).

A telephone lens is nice for bringing you close to the subject, but it will create an image that lacks depth. Your photo will look "flat".

A standard lens has a focal length that sees a field of view that is very similar to what your eyes see. The scene appears "normal" instead of distorted or compressed. The lens' only job is to let in light - it doesn't need to cram in a wide field of view, or bring a distant subject up close.

Besides concept of a "normal" lens, standard lenses also have a number of other pros that contribute to a better photo:

Since the focal length is not very long, minor camera shake resulting from taking a hand-held photo should not cause the photo to blur, unless the shutter speed is extremely slow. This results in a sharper picture. Sharpness plays a huge role in the quality of a photo.

Also since a normal prime lens is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, they can be made with faster apertures that allow for that "blurry" effect from a shallow depth of field, while remaining quite affordable.
