Regardless, this kind of thing should not be news. No one advertises their product logically. Thinking it strange when they don't is just as illogical.
If the Product Enigneer says: "Our displays are bigger! Now they are 2:1!" he is an idiot
If the Marketing Person answers: " That sounds smaller ..." he is also an idiot.
The aspect ratio is not telling you anything about the size of the screen. Whoever don't get that is an idiot.

If you want to tell somebody what's the size of the display, tell him:
"It's 12,8 x 7,2 cm" Whoever still don't know what's the exact screen size is a complete idiot.
