CS:GO pros use black bars mainly for focus. It helps them concentrate better on the center of the screen where the action happens, reducing distractions from the periphery. It's kinda like horse blinders for gamers. Also, some are just used to it from older 4:3 monitors and stick with it for comfort.

It's all about that sweet, sweet focus. Black bars = less screen to worry about. More kills, less frills.

Honestly, it's just preference. Some say it helps with focusing, others like the nostalgic feel. At the end of the day, if you're comfortable with your setup, that's what really counts!
