There are many, usually non-technical people though some devs & such too, who maximise everything then complain about how much space is wasted on the right of their fancy screen.
I have a 32" screen running at "standard" pixel pitch (matching the 24" 1080p screen I have in portrait next to it) which I sometimes use full-screen but usually have split 50/50, 33/66, 25/75, or 33/33/33, depending on what I'm doing. One of our testers doesn't understand, can't see benefit I get from the flexibility ("why not just have two monitors?" has been asked several times). It seems to actively annoy her that such a wide screen exists. If she ever saw the ultra-wide my friend uses for gaming I think she'd have a seizure.
Admittedly when sat this monitor plus the other in portrait is in total a bit wide (so the other screen is usually relegated to just being mail/chat windows that I only interact with when something pings for my attention) and a touch too tall. It is much more comfortable when I use the desk raised so I stand, which is how I work >⅔ of the time.
