Note how the screen is divided into several vertical columns, and that the articles are in a narrow central column. This site is almost unreadable in landscape mode, while it would be perfect for portrait mode. These kinds of sites are unusable in 'optimized view' mode too. Only portrait will do..
What would make it "perfect" in portait mode? The column would be even more narrow as that's the variable width column in their layout. So then you would be back to zooming or changing the font size just as you could in landscape mode. The only difference is that you would have more vertical size, but that would come at the cost of column width also. Far from perfect IMO.
