Widows and orphans are starts and ends of a paragraph on a different page. Having no empty space at the bottom of the screen actually creates widows and orphans, which can interrupt the flow of reading/understanding more than the space can. Obviously on say a 2" to 5" screen you might want paragraphs to avoid extra space and create widows and orphans. On a 6.8" or larger screen, or 6" 300 dpi with small text you'd want to avoid widows and orphans by having a varying amount of space at the bottom of the page.
