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 had a Samsung S9 which is quite OK size, I like it a lot. But there are no security updates for it anymore so now I have a Samsung S24 Ultra which is way to big, but has a lot of features which the S24 doesn't have but it's not much bigger.

Basically for me it is lack of choice.
