Use cases and preferences differ. Splitting Android between an 8" tablet at home and a phone carry about, for years I thought a 5" 16:9 ZTE had the right balance of view with handhold and pocketability. A good price on a replacement 6" Moto with 18:9 kept the hand comfort while still nearly as pocketable - the extra screen real estate is not a big deal, but the nice AMOLED screen is. A third-party launcher adjusts icon sizes and app access. I'd suspect (without knowing) the 20:9 ratio is over-the-top and probably would not buy one.
Well if you had to buy a new one "yes" you would buy a 20:9, because that is all that is being made now. I know. I searched high and low, even from foreign companies. ALL of the top tier phones are now 20:9
BTW, Im getting used to the screen size of my new phone, and it has really been a great phone. But even now, Id give $100 to trade it for the exact same phone with the screen being 1/2" wider...
As above, use cases reasonably differ. Three years out (hopefully) from buying another phone will have to see what's available. With my tablet habits the newer hinged dual screen and folding screen formats (overpriced / screen durability in doubt) might consolidate use into one device and fit in my pocket on the go.
