Because most people use their phone as their main, if not only, device, so a bigger screen is more desirable to consume content.

By that logic everyone should buy a foldable

I would if they were more durable, easier to repair and cheaper…

I would, if long term durability is not a concern and the price is not too damn expensive.
Basically if money is no issue.

Unfortunately, they haven’t figured out a way to get gorilla glass to bend and not shatter so the current plastic screen is way too weak and a fingernail can scratch it. Not good for a $1500+ device.
A $100 Motorola Moto G Play has a 6.5 inch screen. To get a foldable big enough to double the screen area would cost $1400 more. Most people couldn’t afford that, so the budget phone is the best price/screensize compromise. The foldable still get more easily scratched than the $100 phone which just makes foldables very bad.
