> I’m surprised to see such a reaction to a left-aligned content column. I’d have said it was pretty common, though probably not as common as it used to be.

Nowadays, with wide displays, the browser windows may also be wide, especially when using a lot of open tabs, and left aligned content becomes much more annoying when it is thrown far away from your center of vision.
