I have a related complaint about modern consoles: They are frequently unreadable, because they just have to use all the pixels. I booted Debian (IIRC) on a laptop with a 13" 4K screen and got something like 426x135 characters. No chance for me to read them, but there sure were a lot of them. My eyes aren't the best, but I think most people would find that unreadable.

Defaulting to 80x25 (or anything else reasonable) in an almost infinitely ugly font would be a vast improvement.

And in 80x25, there’s so much text that it zooms past you with no chance to ever read it, and Scroll Lock won’t work. Can’t have it both ways, I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle.
