No, a crappy cellphone did not take the image

I often wondered how many magazine ads for 35mm SLRs in the film days were shot with medium or large format gear.

It's actually quite normal. Once one of my images taken with a certain
camera was used in an advertising campaign for a different camera.

The use of medium and especially large-format cameras by ad agencies
and freelancers working for ad agencies is all but obsolete.

Then for what reason would you need a Hasselblad?

In a website in which I participate there's a forum where people can
buy and sell cameras. A guy posted a photograph of a camera body and
several lenses he had for sale.

Someone put up a post asking him if he'd taken that photo with the
camera he was selling, and which lens he was selling he used.

Amazing things can be done with smoke and mirrors.
OK - smoke isn't needed.

How many Hasselblads do you see in commercial or press shoots, either
on the street or in studios? Some, maybe, but not many. I see a lot of
pros at work in Washington and NY, on the streets and in studios, and I
haven't seen a Hasselblad or other medium-format camera for years. Not
knocking Hasselblad or any other camera brand or type, or the people
who choose to use them, that's not my style. Just saying what I see.
And having carried a Hasselblad 500C and a couple of lenses back in the
late 70's while doing book and magazine photography, I can understand
why. Great if you have an assistant to schlep it around for you.

Maybe the guy who asked the dumb question was smoking something.
