My reading glasses need the object closer than arm's length. Maybe I have long arms. They are for reading books.
Portrait mode of course means a larger screen can be used than say a 16:9 in landscape.

More precisely, portrait mode lets a medium screen play like a bigger one. A 22" will be comparable to a 40" for single page wysiwyg. That allows you to boost the metrics.
Playing with the screen metrics will make text and UI elements larger so you can put the monitor further back and still read the text comfortably. It's not just for portrait use, btw.
Back in the CRT days, our AA had a monster 25" high res monitor for graphics that we tweaked the metrics to adjust the field of view for text use at arms length.
