They're just as easy to hold either way though.

The weight is more evenly distributed if you hold it vertically. I still hold it horizontally though.

I don't know. If I balance the phone on my pinky, with the index finger on top and ring- and middle finger behind, it sits very solidly. My thumb is then free to tap the shutter button.

I find it too difficult to take a picture or video landscape one handed compared to portrait

Why is that? Most phones allow you to press the shutter with the volume button so it should be easy either way

I usually change settings, my phone is big. Like depending on the scenario I might change my frame rate on the video or the optical zoom. I find it too difficult with a pixel 6 pro and my hand size. Also I use rotation lock because it's annoying if I'm laying down to have it rotate on me. So then I also need to tap the icon in the lower corner to rotate it, or disable it while I take a video. Lots of mucking about for one hand.

That's true, but I find it just as difficult to access those features onehanded in vertical orientation, so I either do those twohanded before shooting, or I struggle about as much to reach them in either orientation.

Ehhhhh no that's obviously wrong.
