So COLUMNS and LINES are not needed for automatic correct behavior in a modern
environment... So we still have the questions: useful to restrain programs
from stomping all over the terminal which is what POSIX mandates ?
Should we jump that way ?

COLUMNS handling in our tree is inconsistent.
POSIX specifies that if COLUMNS is a valid value (read: 1 or greater),
it takes precedence; otherwise, width is handled in an unspecified
manner.
Most programs follow COLUMNS, TIOCGWINSZ if that fails, and use 80 if
that fails. Some do TIOCGWINSZ
