I still thing this is correct. "Features" like Reachability, and even Screen Time, are software solutions to hardware problems.
I don't think people would be as addicted to their smartphones if they stayed small. At that size, they were more of a tool, and a means to get something done when away from a proper computer. As the size increase, it became mobile-first, doom scrolling entered the picture, and people started asking if phones were bad of our mental health.

Sure, but if a phone is your primary computing device, as it is for more than half the world's population, it makes sense for it to get bigger as well.
