We’ve intentionally designed the chat interface with a fixed width to optimize for reading ergonomics. Research shows that keeping line lengths constrained significantly improves focus and reduces eye strain for text-heavy workflows.

While I understand the desire to utilize the full screen, this layout ensures a consistent, high-quality experience regardless of monitor size and makes designs easy to ship. We are looking at ways to use that margin space for future utility features like document previews, memory management, and already use it some situations like citations.

why not to make it an option?

Imagine that the output will be a piece of code, which is possible. or a table.
Reading it with this limited width won't be good.

so, let the user decide - give them an option in UI settings to either set the width in pixels, or to do 100% of width.
