I have quite an issue with accidental screen touches on my iPad Air 2020 because of the small bezels, and gets very aggravating at times. With my mini 5 in an Otterbox Defender case I have a large enough surface area to comfortably grip and hold it without touching the screen. I'm sure it is an "old guy" thing, where as we age it becomes more difficult to hold things like pencils. I was happy when Amazon finally listened to complaints and released their Oasis model which made holding and reading on a Kindle so much easier.
I also much prefer the older style mini 5 Home button to whatever they call the side button on the Air 4.

I'm exactly the same and I totally prefer my Mini 5 to the newer 6 (which is in our family and I've used a bit)
I really like the bezels giving so much grippable space in landscape (don't do a ton of portrait orientation)
