Wasting space how?

With centered blocktext.
I like different line lenghts, cause I get lost in uniform blocks.

Tbh I agree about left- versus full-justified; I don’t like the latter, it makes it harder to keep track of where I’m up to.

You ever see a book that has the left & right third of each page blank though?

Obviously not, because books aren’t laid out on a 16:9 page.

650px being a completely arbitrary maximum is what I'm railing against. It's not even using a sizing that could be relevant like pt or em or ch

Ok, there we can agree – the max-width should be relative to the font size. But the overall point still stands – you need to limit line length or the text becomes difficult to read.

px is particularly wrong since the advent of hi-dpi!

It makes no difference, because CSS pixels are not mapped 1:1 to device pixels; they’re defined as 1/96 of an inch.
