I think some people in some parts of the world will still have CRTs (including the USA, especially for the accurate colour response) and some people will display the aquarium on a plasma. Also regardless of whether it's called a screen-saver or not it is reasonable to take some measures to avoid burn-in on a program that people might leave running for extended periods of time... tho (i) if they leave it paused it's kinda down to them (actually, personally I'd nudge it a little bit, in software, every 30 mins) and (ii) if they have a display so wide it can't scroll then they should be expert enough to understand the issues.
I also would like it if we could get past telling people to shut up...
