Why white borders around photos?

I've seen that professional photographers use white borders around their photos on Instagram, why do they make their photos smaller by doing that? To preserve image quality?

If that is so why don't they just use standard 1:1 , 3:4 or landscape mode which ig supports instead of custom crops

It's pretty useless if you want to post more than one photo. The AR of the first photo will be applied to all the other pics so if your photos are all different ARs it will not work.

since Instagram stubbornly insists everything be square

That hasn't been the case for like a decade?
