That's because most people, including those running the restaurants and
stores, don't know what they're doing.
When my TV was delivered, the delivery guys helped me set it up. One of the
first things I did, once everything was plugged in, was to set the default
for all four inputs to "Normal" (4x3). This shocked the delivery guys. They
felt they had to explain to me that I just bought a widescreen TV and should
be watching everything in widescreen.
Frankly, I love the fact that when I put in an anamorphic DVD and start
playing the movie, the image gets wider. It's like the end of the prologue
in This is Cinerama. THAT's what a widescreen TV should do.
