80 character line wrapping is IMO more important on larger and wider-aspect ratio screens. Even the smallest 16:9 aspect ratio screen can be split into two columns, one being an 80 character column for code and the other left wide for a web browser or document viewer (this is now my setup when working on 16:9 aspect ratio laptops). I see a lot of people work on large displays and with multi-monitor setups. Those who do not have their screens split into an 80-character or similar terminal and text editor width columns spend a lot of time switching between screens or applications. Couple this with the fact that you have to move your eyes around a lot on larger displays (and even head, in the case of multi-monitor set ups) and their setups actually make them navigate slower than they would on a smaller display.
