That's all true but there's a reason we use wider fov's; they may not make the 'window' any larger, but unless you have a 50" plasma right in front of your face (some do, and its an awesome idea) your 'window' wont be large enough to give you satisfactory situational awareness/a usable view.
For example, I have a 22" CRT about a metre in front of me. It's a great monitor for picture quality. But I ultimately have to switch between 70 and 30 fov because the sim is simply not comfortable (and doesnt feel right) at 30 fov all the time. It would be better if i could set a fov closer to 1:1 for this monitor type, but it would still not solve this problem.
It may be just a window and there is great value in being able to zoom to 1:1, but you should still make full use of that 'window' by using wider fovs as well
