Usability. They tried to do all sorts of fancy charts when a simple one could have sufficed. I’d bet HN has more mobile viewers and desktop.
So in this case all that expensive money spent making that page isn’t really worth it since a large part of internet wouldn’t even be able to properly read it.
Worse is they half arsed responsiveness. Could have left safari to browse the page like a normal desktop page but their width metadata gives a very poor experience.
