No mentioned are the PC terminal apps from BBS era dialup connections that tended to use one of the 80x25 lines as a status bar, leaving 24 lines for the remote display... not to mention avoiding or embracing wrap issues that sometimes left you from using column 80 reliably either.
It's kind of nice to see a lot of resurgence in terminal technologies and remote terminal apps these days... I think AI is letting a lot of people that have been nostalgic pick up projects that would have been too daunting otherwise. Myself included.
