   I don't think it was "programmer laziness".  A non-aspected pixel 
for pixel dump distorts the aspect ratio of the original image.  The 
printout will be stretched in either X or Y (depending on the res of
the display screen).  Fonts are stretched, the Clock becomes an oval,
etc. 

   This was probably viewed as not desirable and therefore not
offered as an option.
