You play with what you got. Same advantage/disadvantage for both teams. Life is tough!
Narrower hash marks mean a greater advantage for runners, not as likely to go out of bounds. I wonder how today's narrower hash marks in the NFL would have affected the records of a Jim Brown, the greatest running back of all time. Also, when he started in the NFL, there was only a 12-game season and he never played in a 16-game season. The game has changed.
