You’re not anti-America Jeff. Agree about the vertical display.
The simplest thing in the world: Shooting stills? Hold the camera any way you wish. Shooting VIDEO? Hold the camera in horizontal (landscape) mode because TV sets and computer screens are horizontal. The ONLY time vertical video makes sense is when it is PHONE to PHONE video, like FaceTime, or Skype or just any phone call with video.
Manufacturers could easily program phones to shoot video in landscape mode by DEFAULT if they wanted. For vertical, they can just add a button or program the phone to shoot vertical in video calls only. There is NO such thing as default vertical TELEVISION displays.
In fact, manufacturers can and DO make full frame image sensors and have done so for a very long time, so if they wanted, they could design the phones so they shoot video in landscape mode even when the phone is held vertically, the sensor just "windows" itself to fit the aspect ratio needed, which in the case of TV, is 16:9 or MAYBE 4:3....but 9:16/3:4 never needs to be an option because in film and TV land it simply does not exist and never has.
