I think it's just very practical (regardless of the light it casts, and FWIW, the Nexus got a perfect score).

Comparing form factors with the iPhone works because the iPhones have always been around the same size. Comparing displays to the retina display works because it's the most common smartphone display.

If they said "it's good" or "it's as good as the ObscurePhone X4", it would be harder for me (and probably others) to rate the Nexus.

(I realized that the perfect score was software, not display, right when noprocrast locked me out, I stand by the rest re: framing everything by the current iPhone.)
