My guess is that this preserves the aspect, so that the graphics don't appear 
stretched and warped - without the borders, the game would be uncomfortable 
to play.

Actually, I'm wondering how the developers deal with an extraordinarily-long 
or high display or multiple displays.  Take Darius, for instance - that's a 
very long display indeed.  Having never seen the original arcade machine, I 
don't know if it's a long display or a several normal-sized displays stuck 
together.
