This is useless bloat.

Default browser styles are perfectly alright.

When they aren't, this is mainly a self-inflicted problem by your browser (that can set whatever default it wants), and by yourself (who can easily override the default browser style with either a personal css file or just by CTRL+scrolling to change your text size). Text size, window width, margins, should never be a responsibility of the website.

Well, almost. The only problem (as far as I can think of right now) is that pictures which are included in a document are not limited to the width of the viewing area, by default.

I fully agree.
