The shift of screen sizes for computing devices from a single aspect ratio (4/3 monitors) to just about anything created a nightmare for UX, and web development is suffering from it. I still maintain that no-one should have to scroll to use software. Everything you need for a certain place in an application's workflow should be on one screen. If the size of the screen means that more steps are needed to complete a task using software, then that should be handled by the adaptability of the software (including larger text for visually impaired people). Scrolling was the work of the devil. As for accessibility, it makes a blind person able to become familiar with how many elements are available on any screen they use based on their own experience.

Independent of whether you agree with that, it is just completely unrealistic to achieve, in a sane way.
Without using 7 levels of nested submenus, which is also horrible UX, it will never be possible to present all features of e.g. Word on my 4.7“ phone screen.
Where did you find a phone with a 4.7" screen? Do they still have some? (Please tell me it isn’t an iPhone...) Every time my phone’s battery fades into unusability, I struggle for a bit before resigning myself to having a larger phone than before.
