Maybe it's because I'm old, but I like the way it is now.
If I want the text to have long lines, I can use my browser in full
screen mode and if I prefer shorter lines, I simply change the window
size to something smaller.
For this workflow I have some shortcuts in my window manager, that for
example resize a browser window to exactly on half of my 2K screen (so
a browser window is only 1280 pixel wide like in the good old 4:3
days).
But if some line (maybe in a config file example) is longer than this,
I am free to use a wider window or full screen and can read the
complete line without horizontal scrolling.
Your suggestion breaks this freedom.

Just my 2 cents.

Roland
