> the article is only taking about 35% of the screen width

The point is absolute size, not relative. I'm no expert but I seem to recall usability types talking about ideal columns of text being 60-90 characters or so. If your browser is three times wider than that, it's reasonable for sites to show text that takes only a third of the screen. Why wouldn't they?
