Many camera sensors in phones are so high resolution nowadays, you could fit 4K video in any orientation

I agree! I wonder if there's already camera apps that do this?

In any case, unless it's in the default camera app and a default option, it will likely do nothing to reduce the plague of vertical video. I would guess that most people filming something that would be better in landscape didn't even think about it, so won't think about turning an option on.
