Why do streaming services with formats wider than 16: 9 annoy us?

I would not have needed the change from 4: 3 to 16: 9, but with the new formats for the self-produced series from Netflix, Amazon Prime & Co, the measure is really getting full for me. Nobody has devices on which you can play these formats without black bars (or without cutting something left and right). But I don't want to see black bars! Just produce your series in 16: 9, they never go to the cinema anyway. And now it doesn't seem to me that the directors can realize themselves better in broader formats, who is important, the director or the customer?

I have a projector. This works quite well. There are also such TV sets.

Do you really think that your question will bring about a big turning point here? What do you intend with the question?

You just wanna cry

Can't understand that. The self-produced series run on my 40 incher without black bars, i.e. Series such as Stranger Things on Netflix or Lucifer on Prime Video.

The relationship is more similar to the human field of vision

In fact, the cinema started with the 21: 9 aspect ratio. Netflix and Co. Currently only bends to the trend. Especially since at least most of the series that I watch are still 16: 9.

Plus, more and more modern cell phone displays also seem to get wider than 16: 9 if I get that right. And it is a fact that a shockingly large number of people only stream on their cell phones (even if I personally don't understand that).

The two series mentioned are not affected either… Star Trek: Picard, on the other hand, only shows black bars, an overview of all series in the "wrong format" can be found here: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/117-2-35-1-constant-image-height-chat/3015918-list-tv-shows-wider-than-16-9-aspect-ratios.html

Smartphone have max. 18: 9, so still bars. So there's nonsense in turning 2.35 to 1 if it never comes to the cinema

So there's no reason. Except maybe selling new devices that nobody actually needs. And when everyone has 2.4: 1 devices, does someone realize that 4: 3 would be the best format so that you can sell everything again?
