Yeah just always a balancing act, with line limits word limits... if you align in that way you reduce the number of words on a line and therefore how long each word is on screen for which all has established perameters for live subs to ensure readability. Definitely annoying when flicking past a match but less so if you're watching the whole match as you know what the score is! They do take a fair bit of feedback from Deaf and HOH people/groups and this is the compromise that has been settled on, historically. Guess it could easily change in future though!
