I don't know if it's typical, but for most of those kinds of buffers you
describe as "formatted", I think they should at least set truncate-lines.

Any major mode is free to (set (make-local-variable 'line-move-visual) nil).
As of now, I don't think any mode bothers to do that.

I can't think of any poll which would bring any satisfactory answer to
the discussion.
