Comment (by westonruter):

 Just ran across this in the context of the AMP plugin. The plugin's setup
 lets users pick from a list of core themes to use for serving AMP pages. A
 theme chosen for this purpose is called a “Reader theme“ which lives
 alongside the active theme. Given this theme is almost exclusively used to
 serve pages to mobile users, it doesn't make sense to show the landscape
 desktop `screenshot.png`  that comes with the theme, and so we've created
 portrait mobile screenshots for each core theme. If themes included a
 mobile screenshot in addition to a desktop screenshot, we'd be able to
 more easily expand the list of themes available in the UI. But
 irrespective of the AMP plugin's use case, it seems generally useful for
 core to depict mobile screenshots of themes given the increasing
 importance of mobile devices on the web.
