It’s such an unappealling aspect ratio.

Could be because it is just off of the golden mean: 3:2

actually 10:6 = 5:3 = 1.66 is closer to the golden mean (1.618...) than 3:2
= 1.5 ;)

I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote 3:2. I meant that 6:10 is just
off the golden ratio of 6:9.7...
Though I was confused there, you make the case that the aspect ratio is
actually a pleasant one, as opposed to your initial assertion...

No doubt it’s pleasant but it’s a shipping container so it should be
practical and is this unappealling ;)
