"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but nothing left to take away."

I value negative space in the same way that my dream is not to pile my plate with as much as I can at a buffet.

That's nice, but I value text that renders at a legible size more than I value leaving the majority of my screen empty. This layout isn't effectively using negative space, it's just wasting the entire screen. At least on mobile.

On mobile I just use two thumbs to zoom in to the column I want to read.

Blatant ableism against the mono-thumbed or thumbless.

The mono-thumbed can always double-tap the desired column, and thumbless folx can use their nose.

If only we had simple CSS rules to present things in a way that doesn't require one to do this

How did you do that?

Unicode tricks. A quick Google search for "small text generator" will point you in the right direction.

You're free to call that "negative space", it's still 70% of my screen that's just blinding white, and 30% that's a tiny, non-responsive column layout. You call it perfect, I call it annoyingly empty and bad usability on mobile.
