Why are laptop manufacturers so deathly afraid of moving away from widescreen aspect ratios? The adoption rate of even 16:10 panels (which are a lazy compromise) has been pathetically slow, at least in comparison to how eager they were to move away from 4:3 during the 2000s.

For fuck's sake, low-midrange Windows machines only started having 1920x1080 panels by default maybe 5-6 years ago. Before that, they were still shitting out 1366x768 garbage, even in some L-series ThinkPad laptops.
