Vertical footage on a landscape channel
Regular YouTube videos play at 16:9. A phone video in a landscape upload gets black bars on both sides, which looks unfinished on a TV or laptop.
The blurred background fills those sides with a soft, zoomed copy of the video: the common way to use phone clips in landscape videos. Fill crops the top and bottom instead, which only works when the action is in the middle.
