I wish it took up more than 640 pixels on the left of my 1920 pixel screen. I changed the CSS of the body to be 900pt instead of 480, and it renders at 1200px wide, which looks a lot nicer to my eyes. Didn't bother trying to center it though, which would have improved it even more
That’s a feature. It lets your thumb scroll comfortably in a larger blank area so the content is always in view for you. There is no reason for things to be centered, it does not aid readability.
Yup, I hope every one agrees to leave proper justified text to LaTeX/ConTeXt/Typst/<your_favorite_typesetting_software>, doing such thing for HTML is still ugly and makes things harder to read
Mobile browsers are assuming you're looking at a legacy page optimized for desktops (widescreen) and have a relatively large virtual screen size by default. They expect you to manually zoom in as necessary. Adding this helps:

Lacks centering, other than that I also found it enjoyable to look at.

This only works on large enough tablets. On phones the page isn't readable without a 3x zoom.
Not a feature on a 32inch ultrawide.
Use smaller window
Use phone horizontally.
Much more practically, the best designs are the ones who don't demand of the user they be consumed in a single form across every scenario.
Horizontal phones haven’t been practical for a while. The weight balance is off and you are forced to use it two handed. You’ll look like a toddler.
To me, the justified text makes it an effortful read.

Breaks Firefox's reader mode.
Looks like dog shit on mobile.
I agree that this general style is good, just without some of this page's fuckups.
Chrome's too, but why? It's just plain HTML.

This matches the max-width specified by the CSS. However, a smaller viewport width might be appropriate to increase the text size on mobile.Safari reader mode on mobile works great. But then again, this is a site where you should not need it.
