Smaller could mean either way in my mind at least, wider and narrower makes more sense.
Main problem is that some 16:9 aspect ratios are for some reason letterboxed as well, like popular laptop resolution 1366x768 and 1600x900. Those shouldn't be letterboxed, but game decides to letterbox them anyway, so there may be some up/downscaling happening after all or game is just randomly choosing when to letterbox. Either way I'm sure many laptop users may prefer to play with 1280x720 instead of native resolution at that point to be able to fill the screen properly.
