The \'darama\' we often see with ultrawides is due to the perspective distortion at the edges of the frame which stretch the image into lines which lead us into the frame. It can be effective on occasions but can also end up being a tiresome cliche. When you stitch you have the option of different \'projections\' such as sperical or barrel and these remove this edge distortion to give the wide view a much more natural apperance. It doesn\'t work with all subjets as anything with straight lines will be rendered curved but with natural scenes it works very well.
