A lot of UIs are built for big screens and scale down for smaller iPhones. It's harder to read and interact with a smaller phone.

Smaller phones are easier to interact with if we’re taking single hand interactions.

Not everyone uses their phone for UIs. A lot of us Gen-X / Elderillenials have a more disconnected lifestyle, whereas a lot of younger-llenial and Gen-Z their life is centered on communication first. As such, a Large screen is not a priority, but portability is, because I'd assume just leave my house without my phone if it's too big to tuck in a pocket on a bike ride.
