There are many reasons including:
- Easier for people with slightly imperfect vision to read
(I'm talking about obscured or diminished vision which
can't be corrected by lenses - some diabetics get blod
clots in the aqueous humor, some people have damaged
retinas, etc)
- The lower resolutions can support higher frequencies,
which are needed for offices with fluorescent lighting
- You can sit the monitor further away from your eyes, thus
reducing eye strain
These are reasons that spring to mind right now, I'm sure there are
others.
