What is the point of fullscreen keyboard on Android?
On Android, certain apps can override any user settings and "force" the keyboard to go fullscreen. This means you cannot see any context of what you are replying to.

2. Why would any app want to do this?
(I see you have a larger area to compose but is that actually useful? It's easier to remember what you've typed yourself. Wouldn't portrait be better? Or making it an option?)
For those saying this is standard Android behaviour, here are some screenshots proving otherwise:
