I suspect they look much better in demo videos like this because there's no depth information in the objects surrounding the phone either -- the person's hand, the floor/desk behind them, etc. This makes it much easier for one's brain to map "pseudo-depth" onto the entire video.
In real life, you have depth perception for everything except the images on your phone's screen, making a demo like this look "flat" even at its most convincing. Real 3D requires two distinct visual inputs; this is a gimmick.

I'm all for teaching kids literacy, but there's only so much meaning that can be gleaned from any given passage of text. At some point you're assigning meaning where there really is none, and I felt this was prevalent in some SAT questions and other standardized tests I endured during K-12. This was in a very well-regarded school district: CHCCS in North Carolina.
