Because it works on phones?
So does landscape.
I mean sure, but if you look at it that way, vertical also 'works' on TVs.
The point is that when you're scrolling through stuff on your phone, you do it portrait.*
*Since this is the internet, I know I'm going to get a "But I scroll through everything on my phone landscape", because of course I will. That's cool. Go chat about it with the other 0.002% of people who do that.
You can't turn your TV sideways without a lot of headache and potential damage, though.
I mean, I get your overall point, but the initial analogy doesn't quite work.
