It bothers me a lot to see 25% of the display being black bars, yes.

Also, I did some counting a while ago and even for books 16:10 is superior than 4:3 (for single pages at least). Especially if your viewer can do automatic cropping of the white space in for example comics.

It really is one of the stupidest design decisions from Apple if you ask me.

16:10 and 16:9 are too long for portrait mode to hold it comfortably on bedside

And I do prefer a more squarer aspect ratio in landscape mode for web browsing and basic productivity tasks like word and google docs.

Isn't 4:3 usually thought to be better for reading? The squarer shape seems more appropriate for that, but perhaps I'm missing your point.

While we're off topic I want another √2 aspect ratio tablet. The Pixel C Screen was the perfect ratio for me to do work on...

 

The 3:2 on the Pixelbook just isn't quite the same when I need to do split screen.
