It wouldn't line up vertically. This makes it harder to see trends.

Oh, jeesh. Altogether now, "DON GREEN EYESHADES!".


It would take up more space on tiny displays - not everyone uses a 20 inch
computer screen in the cockpit, or when walking around.

And no one is going to convince me all that many people are getting
their briefs on "tiny screens or when walking around". Some are, sure.
But with nothing to prove it, I bet the vast majority use desktop
terminals to do it, either at home, or at the airport, where they are
normally available.

All your statement does is corroborate what most people already know -
"tiny screens" aren't very useful for surfing the web or gathering data.
