This concept is popular for more than 10 years now. Many websites do it with something as simple as
article { max-width: 60em }
> It's completely unsurprising to me that I can resize the window into a state where the website becomes silly. I just don't do that.
Take Twitter for web. Reduce the browser to something like 60% or 70% of the screen width. The <div><p>...</p></div> elements containing the tweets are chopped off on the right side. It disrupts my reading experience due to minor resizing. This is most of the web today.
> Resizing a window is trivial, it's not that you can't, it's that you won't.
That's true. I don't want to be resizing my browser up and down for every good and bad website.
