There's no conspiracy here.
It's far more comfortable to watch vertical videos in a phone instead of having to rotate it constantly for each video.
It's also more comfortable to record videos vertically using a phone, which makes a direct translation to post a vertical video in a platform that's phone oriented.
A platform like tiktok would be really shitty with horizontal videos. It's clearly a platform designed around vertical videos and people enjoy it, it works just fine.
Wierd, I find it equally comfortable to hold the phone in either orientation, but way easier to record when holding the phone horizontally since I can get more in the shot at once. As an added bonus, I can also enjoy it just as well (or more) on a regular screen. Again, vertical videos are a waste.
Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording. It's not a cinematic shot, they are not making movies.
Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that. It's a type of videos that get fits better in a vertical format anyway.
We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.
Times haven't changed, and vertical videos are still a pointless waste of time and space.
Dancing I guess might make sense if the person is dancing in place, but realistically if it can be shot vertically you should ask "is this really even worth recoding?" Chances are the answer is "no".
There is almost 0 need for vertical videos.
