Because:

  • A big progress bar isn't necessary. Making it smaller loses some
    precision, but a big bar isn't that precise in the first place. If you
    precision you can look at the percentage or ratio figure after the
    progress bar anyway.
  • A big bar sometimes obscures important info. For the "Building"
    step the crate names after the progress bar are important -- they make
    it clear how much parallelism is in the build. If you don't see that
    you're getting a much worse understanding of the build process.

On an 80-char wide terminal, the change looks like this. Before:

    Building [========>                                               ] 18/105

On a 100-char wide terminal, it looks like this. Before:
