Why is 16x10 a no go? Its better for everything except movies. Which are 21x9 in the meantime anyway

I have some vision issue so 16X10 gives more real estate but 16X9 allows me to see the full texts (from left to right). So, if I'm reading something, I don't have to scroll left and right to finish. I simply just have to scroll down. This is because I often have to zoom in past 100% size. This doesn't apply to 99% of Apple user.

Surprised with the starting price of $1299. Was expecting it to be much higher.

I'm confused. I'm looking at getting one and the 15" with 16GB/512GB is £1,800. I'm sure when I looked at the 13" with same specs it was about £1,749? (I might me misremebering).

Considering inflation I think £1,800 is a really good price for a 15" model. It seems Apple has kept the M1 model where it is and gave the 13" a price cut? the 13" M2 with 16GB/512GB is now £1,649 (so a £100 price drop?)

I was expecting them to keep the prices as they were and then charging something like £1,949 for the 15" model.
