Alright, let's get back to the issue then.

Scenes are explicitly designed by these people called "scene designers." 
  They make their scenes to look a certain way.

If someone comes along and changes the aspect ratio, then the image no 
longer matches what the "scene designer" explicitly created.  You either 
have to show sections that weren't intended to be shown, or cut off 
sections that WERE intended to be shown.  In either case, your results 
are very likely going to be worse than the original, not to mention a 
piss in the face of said "scene designer."

I have yet to see one good argument refuting the above in this entire 
thread; most of it seems to be, "Scene designers don't REALLY mean to 
use the aspect ratio they use, they just kind of do it by accident, so 
let's go ahead and change it!" which seems both uninformed and 
disrespectful to me.
