the reason is to see more of the screen

Well centering the gun is what ADS is, the gun to the right is 'at rest'.

That shit also makes it harder to actually aim since there’s now a greater reliance on the crosshair or angle than the literal placement of the gun itself.

The offset represents holding the gun at the hip and hip-firing. Aim down sights is for aiming. Both of these are compromises between verisimilitude and game feel. When you aim down the sights, you generally tilt your head to line up your eye with it. But you don't see the camera tilt to follow realistic head movement. That's because 1:1 mapping to realistic movement is jarring and feels bad to actually play. So the game simplifies this to make it "feel right." IRL your brain does a lot of tricks to correct for the complicated movement of your body, so you don't even notice these things if you actually do them. But your character in a game is only connected to you through the controller and the screen, so your brain can't correct for that stuff automatically. Maybe in VR, but not with a controller or KB+mouse.

For reference, this is how most quasi realistic shooters should keep their weapons placed. Just a little off the center of the screen.

I member changing the csgo config a decade ago so that the gun is almost perfectly centered at the bottom of the screen.
