Yea - the wasted space is on purpose - it improves readability when the line length is smaller. This might be less of a case for Forums and Discussions, but wikis in general have large amounts of text and it's hard to read one long line of text.

There's a fair amount of research into the 'best' line length/characters per line, and this link has some interesting reading material about the massive spaces you might see on large screens.
