Back in 2022 when I upgraded my phone that died of old age, I was honestly kind of shocked that I could not use modern phones one handed anymore. Idk why everyone is just ok with needing two hands to operate their phones at all time????
I have something kind of like a pop socket on the back of my phone which helps a ton though but still.
The predominant marketing and business philosophy is to build products that can be sold to the maximum number of people. (That is - undifferentiated, one size fits all products over solving specific needs). And since phones have become primary media and computer devices for most people, who want to use it all day, it makes more sense to make bigger phones with all the features and big batteries. Companies will say consumers want this kind of device because this is the only kind of device they make which is also usable (same thing with SUVs and crossovers in auto industry), but ignore other large consumer groups who want small phones, custom ROMs, interesting designs, etc etc.
