The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
There's a TLP like that
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
^ This is not about seamless transitions
.
Can OP give examples? If there are no cuts you end up with Real Time.

the arthouse version tends to be Leave the Camera Running

^^ That's not the draft I was talking about. The title ends up with "no problem".

On the Movie Ax 'Em every single scene consists of one long shot (I assume due to it being a No Budget piece of crap).
I don't know why No Budget would lead to long takes without cuts.
^It's more a symptom of not having enough money or not caring enough, resulting in the sort of trashy, raw "I have no clue how to actually make a movie" look Dogme 95 intentionally tries to replicate in Stylistic Suck form.
It takes money and dedication to the project for the cast and crew to spend hours or days doing many takes with multiple camera views on a single scene, and then have skilled editors and post-production artists spend even longer splicing together the best takes and enhancements into a fluid whole.

But almost any video device would allow for cuts. You could make the cheapest movie with a borrowed smartphone and you'd still be able to film discrete scenes.

Well, with modern technology, sure. I kind of took the OP's meaning to be about older movies made on the cheap, with bad actors, limited crew, and borrowed equipment on locations where they had a limited time to film before they got kicked out/fined for not having a permit.
Think something like ManosTheHandsOfFate, which has protracted "scenes" where nobody is doing anything at all, long awkward moments with no dialogue or action, ...
A technical term for filmmaking with minimal cutting or post-production editing is "in-camera editing".
Long takes where "nothing is happening" are pretty much covered by the aforementioned Leave the Camera Running.
Is there a trope where a movie doesn't have any in scene edits,cuts etc? Usually due to being a really cheap and/or bad movie but some art house movies do it on purpose.
