Why does volume change bring up entire display?

I keep forgetting to ask, but finally remembered: when I’m watching a show on my iPhone and make a volume change, it brings up the entire display of controllers and Favorites, blocking a good 2/3 of the screen. On an iPad this is less of an issue, but on iPhone it is really not good. Is there a reason to show all this instead of an unobtrusive volume display that does not block the video?

We agree that it could be smaller. Thanks for the feedback.

Been a little while so wanted to revisit this. More and more of my video playing iOS apps are incorporating a non blocking volume display, the latest being Plex. I'd really love to see this in Channels.
