For the benefit of the casual reader, my linked example landed on 70ch as the best width for readability. 74 characters, then, isn't too extreme.

It certainly does seem like the letterboxed video difficulty: some people want a certain aesthetic, other people want to minimise unused space, and there are positions in between.

There are various ways to render web pages 'readable', and one application is to declutter the modern web, another is to render readable very old-school pages which didn't anticipate today's window sizes. (Personally I use instapaper, but outline dot com is another. On iOS and in Firefox there's often a 'readable view' to select.)
