You bought a good sized TV and you want to use it, why only use a small portion in the center of the damn tv? It's such a waste. Widescreen helps the picture become widescreen format but if your TV is already widescreen then why do you need it? You just squish the picture more and more until you have 2 inches of tv frame around the picture and about 10 inches on all sides boxing the image in the center of the screen.

Pretty soon your 72" becomes a 50".

Who wouldn't be a little upset?

I agree with you completely. I did not buy a 60 inch TV to only use a portion of the screen. You pay a premium for every inch and I want every inch used. I am the one that purchased fullscreen movies until buying into Blu-ray. Now I catch myself looking for only movies that fill my screen. I hate the fact I have to zoom and lose detail but I do it because the black bars annoy me.
