I realise sensors come in other aspect ratios, but I didn't want to spend the time researching and listing them all. Some sensors are 4:3 (like the IMX363).

But that's irrelevant to my point that the sensor is not square which means you lose more resolution cropping to 16:9 in one orientation (usually portrait) than the other.
