The layout's been just like this since last century. It was an appreciated feature when we were all on dialup, and at the time I found readability to be no problem on a 17" CRT monitor (10.5" x 14") at 800x600 resolution.

I can confirm it doesn't translate well to a modern ultrawide monitor.

That's when I just resize my window to flow the text to my desired width. I appreciate having the control in my hands, not theirs.
