Sure we do, but some/many of those widescreen monitors are only eleven or thirteen inches diagonally, and can't reasonably fit two buffers of text 120-chars wide without shrinking the font to eye-straining sizes (yes, even on retina screens).
Plus, this only gets worse as you get older and your eyesight starts to diminish.
