A panorama captures nothing and is a visual annoyance. The only emotion it instills is "oh wow, that's a panorama".

I have yet to see a panorama that wouldn't be better off as a regular landscape-oriented photo focusing on a smaller portion

they are misused but can provide amazing immersive experiences for the right landscape and on the right viewing platform. the problem is the massive scale and how much (or how little) of the angular view you can see at once.

if you are viewing a 360 degree pano on a phone or tablet when fully zoomed out, you'll never see any details of a most outdoors scenes. once you zoom in, your mind forgets about the other portions as you scroll.

but on a 40 inch widescreen 1080 or 4k monitor, you can see a great deal at once and feel immersed.

I've done some cool panos.

One was of a flight of geese during a pretty awesome sunset over the lake at our family cabin. That one I printed off in a pretty large format & had framed.

Another was a view from our seats for a playoff game at Lambeau Field. I admit, that sort of thing is really tired by now. But the context for this one was different. There's only been one playoff overtime pick-six in NFL history - the Matt Hasselbeck "We want the ball and we're gonna score!" game. Al Harris was running right at me with that walk-off INT. Seeing my pregame pano is pretty neat, you get a greater sense of the pandemonium that is going to occur in a few hours.

Both of these I did well before phones could do panoramas, I made them by taking a series of photos & stitching them together with Hugin.
