I've been in a few airport towers in Brazil, and never seen a diagonal screen. It may be a regional thing, or a small clique. Or it may be best for some software that is long gone.
Really, I would be pretty interested to hear your story. I've been a lot to Brazil.
Tangentially related thought: Take my advice, don't go ultra-wide. Go with a large 4k. You get more pixels for cheaper. The only ultrawide that makes any sense is the 5k x 2k resolution one. These have more pixels than a single 4K. But they are expensive. Even then, a 16:9 5K monitor has more pixels. I personally use 3 x 27 inch 4K - which is cheaper than a single 5k Ultra-wide and gives you a TON more pixels.

I tried to google as well (like another commenter), I did find a lot of 1:1 ratio screens though; I wouldn't mind that I think.
I use a phone with a 1:1 screen. Unihertz Titan in case you're curious.
1x portrait 24" next to 2x landscape 24"'s on top of each other, all 1080p
Then switched to
1x 35" UWQHD 3440x1440 curved and 1x 24" 1080p monitor
Then was gifted the Mother Of All Monitors.
43" 3840x2160. The only thing it misses is a slight curve. Still, it's incredible.
The 43" 4K monitor is essentially an endless combination of portrait and landscape monitors. Window size/shape no longer matters.
Try it. You'll like it.

This is not a complaint about the phone but, God, visiting that website is a nightmare. Immediately hit with a sudden sound notification, a chat widget, a popup, and random decorations scattered all over the screen. https://i.imgur.com/CgOMjio.png
If you've got an ultra wide monitor, maybe spin it and go for persistence of vision effect and a huge circular display? Could double as a fan to help spread all the heat generated by the GPU having to redraw it nonstop!

Made me laugh out loud
I think a servo motor should be behind the screen and it should rotate depending on whether I look up or down or sideways. Added benefit: if you spin the screen fast enough you get a circular display! Of course this means you have to precisely time screen refresh rates and invent a new type of rotation resistant power and video cable.
>>invent a new type of rotation resistant power and video cable That should not be difficult, plug cables into the base instead of directly into the screen and have circular donut shaped plates connecting the base and the screen instead of cables. The plates do of course have to have a spring to put the correct pressure to give a good connection even after some wear on the plates

I’ve got the LG 2-UP monitor and a plain-Jane 1080p monitor in portrait mode. I use the second monitor for mostly-PDF mostly-letter paper document review. I would love to find an ergonomic reason for my org to purchase an eink monitor for that, but I haven’t come up with any excuses ;) Two monitors let me compartmentalize my workflow. Window management is otherwise too messy for my needs with a single display.
What are your thoughts on the LG DualUp for programming workflows?
It is the best configuration I've found for programming and CLI work. For gaming I typically use one of the normal widescreens to the left/right of it.
Only downside I've found is that I screen share often, and the odd aspect ratio means sometimes I have to use one of the normal widescreens instead to avoid small text on the audience's side.
Also I ran into some scaling issues on Mac but got past these using BetterDisplay.
Overall - love the LG DualUp, my only suggestion is to pair it with a normal monitor :)
