And then larger and larger “handheld” devices made that physically awkward as people tend to hold their phone near the middle to balance the weight and oh look my thumb doesn’t reach the top or bottom anymore!

Gestures are also easily accessible by both left and right handed users, when one side hasn’t been replaced with a different function.
