Well said! (as usual)
I think part of the dilemma for me is my primitive caveman two-handed use of phones, which switches to one hand when my phone is mounted. I agree, too wide is also a problem, I was super happy with the size of the LG V30, and I tend to like phones that are as close to 3 inches wide as possible. my LG was (5.97 x 2.97 x 0.29 in), and I am really happy with my current Pixel 6 Pro, which seems to have the balance of width and length I need, (No jokes please), and being nostalgic, I thought my Motorola Moto X Pure (style), was perfect in size. If they has just updated it and loaded more RAM and left the proprietary moto voice software on it, I'd have stayed with it forever. But then I digress into other subjects.
Thanks! Educational as always.
