in PoE 1 they limited the aspect to 21:9 to prevent extra server entity computation that very ultra-widescreen aspect ratios can cause. I believe this means it has black bars beyond the supported aspect, which as you might imagine looks pretty awful.

There is also the issue of UI positioning with ultrawide displays, so people are naturally interested in knowing if GGG are going to allow super ultrawide aspects in the sequel, and whether there's support for this in the hud elements etc.

It's amazing how many times these arguments have been debunked, yet still keep coming back.

If any of it was true, the freely available fix wouldn't allow 32:9 again permanently without any of these "issues" - just as there were no issues for years when the game supported it.

But it does.
