I'm hoping that this all converges into video not having an "orientation". Currently there's a lot of good technical reasons behind this, but as far as the viewer is concerned, they're not always able to watch videos that suit their viewing preference, and authors have to pick beforehand. Videos have been an unnecessarily rigid experience for some reason. For example, one can't typically watch a video while zoomed in and pan around the same way one can to when viewing photos... Because reasons?
