I so wish that you consider providing the ability to "Apply Width to all Data Columns" and maybe to Rows as well. This can be just a toggle (checkbox).

My current experience was to resize each of the 90-day worth of data and it was not very productive and I had to do this each time a new batch comes in.

The New Matrix takes away the previously available ability to set all Matrix columns to a standard width. Now, you can set each column heading to a width that will track that column's location...but with 5000 different potential columns...clearly that's not a workable solution.

The idea of having 5000 potential columns is NOT an edge case...it's an important use case of the Matrix visual. (Think distributors with many customers to display side by side...or products side by side...etc. The list goes on and on). So clearly removing the ability to set widths was ill-considered imo. Please restore this capability.
