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?

I always went for bigger phones. Like I had the original Samsung Galaxy Note (This was back in 2011, so everyone was making fun of me "why is your phone so big?!")

Now I use a S23 Ultra, which is practically the same as the original note, even comes with a stylus pen again)

I just like having a lot of screen space. As long as it still fits in my pocket, why would I want a super small phone
