It's the immersiveness of a bezel-less display. It might not affect everyone as strongly, but for me, other phones now feel constricting.

I don't know, Samsung's S6/S7/S8/S9 has had edge-to-edge displays for years as well (in the horizontal dimension at least) without a notch. I'm guessing I need to check-out in a shop for myself.

I find vertical real estate so much more valuable, and just feels more freeing to have that extra space.
