        Screen aspect ratios are typically represented at their lowest whole number, no? That’s why we have 4:3 instead of 8:6 etc so I thought the same applied here

          This isn’t a screen aspect ratio. It’s a ratio of 1 portion of the screen to another portion of the screen.

          It’s short for 90%:10%. 1 app uses 90% of the screen and another uses 10% of the screen.

          It’s not comparing the length of 1 edge of the screen to a perpendicular edge of the screen.

            It’s a ratio of 1 portion of the screen to another 9 portion(s) of the screen.
