More like corporations realized that people with larger screens tend to browse more content and spend more time in their phones, so they made it the only available option, whether you like it or not.
Angry upvote!
Not sure it's really relevant how long someone spends on their phone. The only thing that matters to them are sales, and the simple matter is that larger screens sell better than their smaller counterparts.
The more time someone spends on their phone, the more likely they are to want better ones, the more likely it is for their phones to break, so they end up selling more. Also, it's very likely that manufacturers have partnerships with corporations like google, meta, etc, that profit a lot from increased phone usage.
And as a fan of large screens (like projectors), I couldn't be happier. Hence why I own a foldable, because most phone screens still aren't large enough to satisfy me.
I am so opposite of this - you could never sell me a foldable - I can't even find one Android game that is worth playing that isn't a remake of an old PC game. That folding will eventually kill the device earlier than a non fold. I just don't see the draw... I have a tablet or laptop or pc for games and other stuff.
Don't know what to tell you, because I've owned four different foldables and none of them ever had any issues. They're just durable and reliable as any other phone.
You remind me of the kind of people who avoid OLEDs, because they still believe that burn-in is an issue that wasn't solved years ago...
