Crop wallpapers mandatory??

After recently update to android 10  I randomly tried to change the wallpaper on the screen. Surprisingly, it MUST be cropped before being set on home screen and lock screen.  I did the crop and the picture looks awful as wallpaper.

The  thing changed in the new android . What's happening??

Right, I'm on the latest update for the Xperia 1, that was released a couple of days ago.

I picked one of the worst pics I had, and the specs are, 654wide, and 880 in height.

The phone auto cropped a little bit off the left and right sides, but nothing much.

Top and bottom of the image are untouched., which is just as well, as it's an image of Batman, so, it's pretty centred, and to be honest, it still looked pretty good.

Thank you for your reply. Just look at this picture. Before updating, it was no need to crop, it fitted perfectly, covering just fine the entire screen. It's taken from Zedge. 

Take a look now ! I'm forced to crop the darn thing ! The sliders won't go any higher or lower, they only move side to side. Screenshot_20200130-010545.jpg

Ok, but it's still not normal for this to happen. I should be able to set it from the gallery as before Android 10.
