The thing is, a phone (to most people) is not just a phone anymore, it's an entertainment machine and for that screen real estate is crutial. E.g. During commute times, most people watch movies, read or play games on their phone but doing that with a small screen is not confortable.
HN demographic is an exception to the rule, mostly males (use phone on pocket) and less prone to use the phone as an entertainment source.
