we have 960px
Why?
Because that's the actual situation and it's still a very used width, as most resolutions are 1280 or 1366.
Of the dozen displays in this building, not one is 1366 native, and I doubt I have one that even supports that cheap lowfi mode. What I do have natively supported includes 1024, 1280, 1400, 1600, 1680, 1920 & 2048.
We shouldn't discuss here why we have things, we want to discuss how we can make the pages better...
If you want better, work on eradicating archaic old-school assumptions. Resolution without size has no meaning WRT size. Resolutions come in many sizes, besides there being many more than your two (lowfi) resolutions, e.g. 1920 (HDTV), 2048, 2560, 2880, 1152, 1024, 480, 320, etc. http://fm.no-ip.com/PC/displays.html
What matters is pixel density, and because pixel density varies rather widely, px shouldn't factor in at all. If you think you want 960px, then what you should want is 60rem; instead of 300px, 18.75rem; instead of 12px, .75rem, etc. That way you avoid tiny type and narrow content on high density screens, and big type and horizontal scroll on low density screens. Pixels are a scourge on u9y & a11y.
