The long list of related user voice threads speaks about the user demand for a solution.
I would be grateful for some MS comment on this issue.

Not sure if you saw these posts recently. There is a way of resizing column widths and to make them stay across refreshes and sessions.
- Change width manually by dragging column divider as usual
- The view name in the 'view dropdown' shows a '*' next to it, meaning it is unsaved.
- Click the view dropdown -> 'Save view as'.
- Choose a new view name, or save using the same name for overwriting the current view.

As this post on UserVoice states, it is not very discoverable / intuitive though.

AbhishekGarg It's been like this for a long time.
The issue is you cant reduce the size of the TITLE field smaller than a certain size.
