"So because some people had a crap experience, now everybody has to have a crap experience too?"

Not everyone is now having a "crap experience".

It would be more accurate to say: because some people with big monitors abused that privilege, now no-one with big monitors can enjoy the benefits.

"There is a reason why people replaced their small monitors with big ones."

Agree, and before I understood the actual reason behind the change, this was my main argument against the change. It is a shame that some people with big monitors ruined it for everyone else with big monitors.

"Some content, like wide tables, will never be as easy to read on a smaller screen."

Yes, that's the point: You should not format tables to only look good on wide screens.
