You still don't say how you're LOSING pixels. If you had your way (a widescreen tablet) they'd simply chop off the extra pixels to change the aspect ratio. You gain NOTHING.
You also fail to say why putting controls, captions, and chapter indications in the empty space instead of OVER THE VIDEO IMAGE is "preposterous." How is having the video obscured with overlays BETTER?
In short: Your response fails utterly to support your claim.
