EB not supporting landscape mode on medium devices?

I originally posted this as a response to this post., from two years ago, which indicated at the time it was a bug.

I would assume most users will rotate a tablet (to landscape) when using a mapping application.  

I have a simple EB app with a text box and a map widget.
It has been updated for both medium and small devices.
On desktop, the text box is purple, on medium it is blue and on small it is orange.

When I view the app on a tablet holding it in portrait mode it shows the blue text box.  If I then rotate it to landscape it shows purple.  Same on a small device, viewed in portrait mode text box is orange, rotated it is blue.
So, the app will fall back to the bigger size version when rotating the device.

Here is the app

Images are attached showing the behavior.

Is this just considered working as expected?  I have an app that needs to run on a tablet but will not run the medium device version if I rotate the tablet.

The way websites usually resize themselves is by constantly asking the browser "How big is the window?" and, even more commonly, just "How wide is the window?" They usually do not know what actual device you are using or, at least, they don't use that information to resize the window. You can see Experience Builder switching between Desktop, Tablet and Mobile Mode by just manually resizing your browser. There is a lot of overlap in the size ranges of big tablet and small desktop. As long as the design is functional in both the Desktop and Tablet Modes, the application should work no matter how the user orients their tablet.
