What size driver wipers do you use? It could be wrong

I've been going by the In store manuals when picking out wipers. 22 drivers, 21 passenger. However, the driver side seemed small to me., especially when driving newer cars that have huge windshields. I've been using that for years...but this time I decided to buy a #26 wiper blade. It's made a huge difference and swipes the entire half of the windshield from middle right to far left...without going above the windshield or interfering with the other wiper.

Why do wiper manuals suggest 22 when a 26 is what seems to work better.

I'm using 21 on the passenger side. I probably could have gotten away with a 28 on drivers side, but looks like Itd be going over slightly at the top
