Oh I have a foldable. Also the software sucks and they can't find reasons for the folding at all. Maybe the flip will have a better market but it messes with battery life, antenna signal and more for a product that yells that an app is incompatible or doesn't fit the screen right.

I know I'm in the early adopter tax but I could have actually done without this one as a techie

I've got a foldable and mine works fine, haven't ran into a single app that won't use the larger display. I find it super useful as the display is much easier to read and watch videos on. Zfold3

Occasionally being able to open a document or video on a larger screen is great but I get so many apps yelling at me to shutdown the app before it can load in a different format or bars on the edges open or missing text closed cause the screen is smaller.

Also what's with the home screens being different open or closed?

My home screens are the same it's a setting. What apps yell at you? Still personally have never had this issue

Yeah as a techie, 100% wouldn't recommend. Also they are 5 generations in and nothing really has changed.
