How can the Nokia Lumia 1020 boast a 41-megapixel camera sensor while the best DSLR's can't even touch 30?

I was reading that the Nokia only actually captures a maximum 34-megapixel image, but that is still leaps and bounds above what's professionally available. 

EDIT: I guess I wasn't specific enough. I already understand more megapixels ≠ better image. I'm wondering more why are they putting such a crazy sensor into a phone instead of into professional cameras?

Having more pixels doesn't equal better image. DSLRs focus on a lot more aspects than that when making a camera. One of the best quality cameras in the world, the RED 5K, used in Hollywood films, is a 13.8 Mpixel.
