I was hoping that someone came out with a camera that not only had not only sensors for visible light, but for infrared and UV. It's just another color to add to the sensors; I think we have enough megapixels, seems like going for other bands is reasonable.

I have a OnePlus 8 Pro with an IR camera. It's pretty nifty - nature photography looks cool, seeing through stovetops is neat (and seeing when they heat up), and VR things are also often playing around with IR (plastic transparent to IR, IR LEDs, etc).
I ended up having to flash Lineage, as there was some outrage that in a highly limited set of circumstances, thin see-through T-shirts became slightly more see-through and OnePlus disabled that camera in their later firmware updates.

Some phones had near-IR camera (Pixel 4, Samsung S10) accessible via API. No "killer app" was found since then, 5+ years

I don't understand how from 3 independent values per pixel (RGB) they claim to derive 200+ independent values per pixel. Unless they are assuming a smooth "image" (all pixels the same RGB), perturbed only by the color card? Not exactly a camera then

This would be great for changing the color balance of captured images.

This doesn't really seem like "hyperspectral imaging". I think the idea is having a reference colour chart of known emission characteristics and photographing it through a transparent substance gives you an idea of how much that substance attenuates each wavelength.
