So why do people think this is useful?

Because people do what you just described: zoom in and scroll to the right. Works fine for me, e.g. for one set of lecture notes I'm currently using I set the zoom to 60% and scroll one step to the right. Oh, and I usually read PDF documents in flipped landscape mode, which is very convenient for a right-handed persion. But, obviously, getting rid of the margins would be even better.

I've had no problems so far, what type of files did you test this on? I've used some scientific PDFs, some of them quite large, and, out of curiosity, tested a PDF that only contained embedded images as pages. Every one of them worked flawlessly.
