Pixel 4a - Issue closing the Daily/Special objectives screen

The 'X' on the daily/special/weekly objectives screen is obstructed by the camera. On similar screens (events milestones screen, chat etc) the 'X' is moved inwards about 8-10mm but not on special objectives. If the screen is rotated it then blocks the mailbox button. Obviously this phone has just come out so there was bound to be some compatibilty issues.

    So is this a device that has part of its display screen area taken away by things like fixed button zones or “cut-outs” for camera, etc ?

    I don’t understand the logic for making devices like that. Do phone makers expect every App Developer and Website to specifically code their stuff to make sure nothing would be in the way of such “excluded areas” ?
    Or should they just “shrink” in their display screen size for their App/Website ? (which would make the edge-to-edge display useless to have been made that way by the manufacturer to begin with)

    Apps have enough problems (as seen in different parts of this game) between the extra-wide resolution devices and ones not-so-wide, with deciding on whether elements treat it as extra area to fill to the wider resolution (ie, a square object is still a square, but now has extra space on the left/right for other stuff). Versus just expanding objects proportionally to fill the extra space (ie, a square turns into a rectangle).

    Oh yeah it's daft, don't get me started; it's a cutout for the camera. I was more addressing that in other parts all other parts of the game the 'x' is nudged inwards (possibly to allay this issue) whereas on the special objectives it isn't.

    At the end of the day it is the responsibility of the developers to cater for popular devices. Capitalism baby!
