Not everyone knows how to make screenshots smaller. Not everone knows how to make tables more narrow (it would often require a re-design of the information in the table). Not everyone wants to check 18,000 pages of legacy content for problems like this. Sometimes a wide table that needs the scrollbars is the most effective way (I'm thinking of some of our drop tables), and users do typically not know how to make it scroll by itself; and I can predict that every time your sidebar gets in our way, we will curse under our breath the entity that is encumbering us in this way.
