Maybe to fit more text?

  In ancients times when they needed to fit more text within physical boundaries they invented scrolling, pages, chapters, volumes. They even folded maps and other illustration inside books.

    It has scrollbars, but there's benefits to having more on an individual page at once. The tradeoff point seems unclear but everyone must recognize some tradeoff there. Foldable maps allow for getting everything on one view by having the final display area be enormously larger, which isn't an option on laptop screens.
