The horizontal display is meant to reflect our natural vision which is also a horizontal aspect ratio. There are niche scenarios like skyscrapers but the vast majority of the time it’s correct to stay horizontal and frame the shot properly.

Both have their place, though a lot of people are also idiots when filming.
