The position is just fine for right handed people as well. I don't even have large hands. I'm convinced that none of the people complaining about it know how to hold a smartphone. In natural holding position, my pointer finger is about 1 to 1.5 centimers below it, making it very easy to reach.
It's mostly just muscle memory n though and should be natural in a few weeks of usage. And it's really the kind of phone you need to clean regularly if you go caseless, since you'll smudge it all over. It might take some getting used to for most, but it's temporary and really nowhere as big of an issue most people seem to be making out of it.
