I doubt it's capability, especially since smartphones used to be smaller in the past.

Average people just don't want smaller phones. So they are a nice product, and manufactures don't want to take a risk.

I don't believe this. It looks like supply and marketing pushing demand, like the SUV trend in the 00s.

This isn't true, though. I replied to someone else with MixPanel numbers, but basically just from the last two years (iphone 8 through the new XR,XS's), 60% of iPhone users are using smaller of the newer phones. If you go back further, I'm sure you'll see similar. So, while everyone keeps saying the market wants larger iPhones, the market keeps buying the smaller ones.
