Why don't apps fill the screen on my ipad mini 6?

Most of the apps I've downloaded from the App store onto my ipad mini 6 don't fill the screen - they use about half of the screen size. I may as well be using a phone! Is this yet another Apple design fault or is there a solution? Thanks.

iPad mini 6, iPadOS 16

if the app developer did not make the app ipad aware it will act like that, one gets a zoom button to make it bigger in the lower corner but it will never fill the whole screen, until the app developer take actions to resolve it
