3:2 is one 1.5:1 area. It's two 1.5:2, or 3:4 areas.
I don't find 3:2 to be an especially good aspect ratio for fullscreen text. It's still either too wide or too short, but 3:4 is pretty good, so two columns on 3:2 is two pretty good text areas on a 12-15" diagonal screen. It's also one pretty good text area and some UI, ads, etc... on either side.
I should note that physical size is a major constraint here. On a laptop, I want a column of text to be about 4-6" (10-15cm) wide. A desktop screen that's usually farther away can be a bit wider, maybe 8-10" (20-25cm). Having those columns be very tall is fine. I've been using a 24" 9:16 display for having documentation up while coding lately.
