It's not a deal breaker; videos are just a mild inconvenience from the screen ratio. But if most of my usage is in media instead of documents, I'd prefer to utilize as much of the screen as possible.

My Pixel was mostly used as a portable school laptop for web browsing and development, so for those tasks it did a great job. But there was always that nagging feeling when viewing videos and seeing even more black bars on top/botton than even my 16:10 monitor at home.
