Is this sample of ineffectual whining notable for any reason other than its author? Is its submission here to be taken as a challenge to improve text rendering on computers? What is the point here?

His whining is funny, while yours is not.

It is "whining" that godoc has to output at a max width of 80 characters because many people apparently still use that as the terminal width. I, personally, do not and can see his point.
