> I’m surprised to see such a reaction to a left-aligned content column. I’d have said it was pretty common, though probably not as common as it used to be.

When it was common, columns weren't so thin I think

Left aligned content was much less of a problem on the old displays with a 4:3 aspect.

Nowadays, with wide displays, the browser windows may also be wide, especially when using a lot of open tabs, and left aligned content becomes much more annoying when it is thrown far away from your center of vision.
