What it boils down to is that Vim always wants to display the beginning of
any line the cursor is on.
With a bit of testing I think the options you are looking for are:
set nostartofline breakindent smoothscroll
the question does arise: why is Vim (and only Vim) this way? It's a mystery.
The answer is that vim has evolved from ed and ex which are line editors.
The other editors you've mentioned do not have the line editor history.
