You say that now, but just imagine you've slept wrong and kinked your neck but still have to get things done. Now you can set the display to 22 degree rotation but leave the monitor horizontal. Voila, the day is saved!

What's the over/under on someone hooking an Arduino to an accelerometer on top of a monitor to automatically keep the display level? One week?

You're looking at it wrong. You don't want to attach the gyroscope to the monitor, you want to attach it to your head
