iPhone 7+ is a much better comparison considering the size of the first two devices.

Not really.

HTC10: 145.9 x 71.9

iPhone7: 138.3 x 67.1 (-7.6, -4.7 vs HTC10)

iPhone7+: 158.2 x 77.9 (+12.7, +6 vs HTC10)

All these phones are only two dimensional? Did Jony Ive design them?

I see how you conveniently avoided listing their thickness. HTC 10 is 20% thicker then iPhone 7 plus.

Unlike the other dimensions, the difference between ridiculously thin and absurdly thin isn't terribly user-visible, especially given that many people will increase the thickness of their phones by more than that simply through their choice of protective case.

Does not matter, original point was that you should compare apples to apples, and comparing HTC 10 to iPhone 7 plus seems more fair than to iPhone 7 due to their dimensions.

What about the difference between ridiculously bulky and fat and normal size?

Because it doesn't matter when you hold it in your hand. (At least 1-2 mm doesn't, for me.)
