Why did you buy a big phone? (programming.dev)

Just finished watching MKBHD's video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" yt indivio

I'm wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

Higher resolution, so I'm not staring at a handful of pixels instead of a video. The smaller ones were also less performant, which would mean I would need to buy a new phone earlier, and I hate switching phones (though that process has improved over the years - it still takes a while before you're really set up)
