That’s not entirely true: 80-column text often doesn’t fit on mobile phone screens, and because it’s pre-formatted, it cannot be reflowed easily, so it ends up an unreadable mess of alternating long and short lines (the short ones being the result of long ones being wrapped but not being long enough to actually fill the line). I very much prefer long non-preformatted lines to be wrapped by the device itself to match the screen it has. -- Cheers, Andrej
