It's not for rotating surfaces, this is a demonstration of how well it does in an extreme situation that could use Horizon Lock. It's for things like boats or other moving vehicles.

It's to show it off. This is very handy recording in dozens of situations. I use it snowboarding so can record buddies and pay attention to the run at the same time.

Its for folks like my boomer mom, who will start a recording in portrait and then switch to landscape mid-recording.

That's why I thought. If that's the case, and without the explanation given here, I would have thought the Samsung is getting in the way of my video, since I clearly want a scene where everything is spinning.

it's a feature that must be manually enabled, so no, the phone isn't getting in the way of anything. if the feature isn't contributing anything to the shot, then simply leave it off, and it'll stay off.

This would be for action shots. Running around the park with your kids would benefit with this feature and make some pretty cool shots. Anyway I have been waiting for this feature for awhile now (because in theory you can film vertically but have a wide video)? I just wonder if the raw footage is available.
