Easy tossing for stir fry is just one feature of a wok. For example, the round bottom causes liquids to pool in the center.
I’m not saying that large flat bottom frying pans with high edges aren’t useful, I have one and it’s probably my most used pan, it’s just not a complete replacement for a wok.
