If they really wanted, they could dynamically shift the framing depending on the composition of the shot, and if that sounds fanciful, isn't that what they sometimes did on the other axis when viewing was primarily 4:3?

It was called "Pan & Scan", my system could be called Nod & Dodge or Tilt & Wilt.
