I don’t have the numbers, but I’m pretty sure that Asia (lots of people) use phones as their primary (sole, even) device.

Since a phone can show portrait or landscape videos in fullscreen (just hold the phone vertically or horizontally), it makes sense to shoot in whatever orientation fits the content or situation best.

The real problem is that computer monitors don’t easily offer orientation switching :)
