Display size isn't a consistent means of measuring the physical size.

My S21 (6.2") is within a mm of my Pixel 3a (5.6") due to the reduction in bezel.

It's relevant enough if you're concerned about RSI or CTS and such

In that case display size is a measure of how much strain you're putting on your hands to navigate the huge screen. A smaller screen means less reaching.

Also smaller display size means less content, less instagram posts, less twitter feed, less interest on your phone in general in my perspective
