But it's not obvious to me that, once you've punched a hole in the
drywall and siding anyway, it's particularly more of a PITA to stick in
a header and double up studs. Especially if you have to put in more
than one little window to make up the difference.


The point of the narrow window is that the studs would not have to be
doubled. Header for attaching, but since there is no bearing as a wide
window no additional structure would have to be added.
