This is a personal taste :-) Indeed I agree with you, but it IMHO it shouldn't
be Qt's task to decide what looks good and what doesn't.

If the application developer believes that this doesn't looks good, he should
use an appropriate QSizePolicy on the layout containing the view. That's what
QSizePolicy is for.

If the rendered web content is 10000 pixels wide, I wouldn't expect sizeHint() to return anything less than that.
