Why are so many YouTube videos portrait rather than landscape now?

The sheer number of videos taken "the wrong way round" (for my computer's monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?

I wish I could at least block Shorts.

For uBlock:

! YT Homepage - Hide the Shorts section
youtube.com##[is-shorts]
! YT Menu - Hide the Shorts button
www.youtube.com###guide [title="Shorts"], .ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer[title="Shorts"]
! YT Search - Hide Shorts
www.youtube.com##ytd-search ytd-video-renderer [overlay-style="SHORTS"]:upward(ytd-video-renderer)
! YT Search and Channels - Hide the Shorts sections
www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer
! YT Channels - Hide the Shorts tab
www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="channels"] [role="tab"]:nth-of-type(3):has-text(Shorts)
! YT Subscriptions - Hide Shorts - Grid View

Seems quite extensive, but... do I place some and/or all of it on the "My rules" or "My filters" tab on uBlock?
