Unintended cursor positioning sequences are usually not necessary for the message to appear as intended. They could just be stripped and the display program/script handle auto-line wrap or whatever, as appropriate for the client's terminal width.

Intended cursor positioning is used to create animation ("ANSImation") effects. If you strip the cursor positioning sequences, then you lose this ability and only the "final result" (e.g. last screen of an animation sequence) would be displayed to the user.
