As seen in the screenshot, there's a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don't see this issue in the feed. I've only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.

Why were those iPhone users holding the phone in whatever way was comfortable to them instead of limiting what part of the physically touchable chasis that happened to also be part of the antenna?
I'll hold the device in whatever manner and orientation is most comfortable for me at the time. And want the apps I use to least have the option to utilize the screen fully.

😂 I mean I think I can infer two things from this post. It has a pretty strongly positive score lending me to believe tens of other people find it irritating too. Basically everyone who has actually responded to me have never used any apps in landscape mode on a tablet (at least not any that isn't fundamentally a video player that forces landscape) and are borderline apoplectic to hear that other people who actually like like fit-to-width display options in applications that display primarily text.
I will say this, at least Liftoff actually let's me scroll the content from those dead spaces on the side. There was one app where even that didn't work.
