"Volpeon, please change this thing"
Changes the thing
"Volpeon, this user is confused because the thing is different now"
??? Okay? You wanted this change so you explain it to your subordinates?
Maybe it also has to do with me prioritizing comfort over anything else. I notice that people seem to care about real estate, whereas to me being able to read and identify things easily is more important.
I always spent a lot of time on the computer. I used to keep my screens closer to my face, and I'm sure I would've used a smaller UI if that had been a thing back then.
But over the years, I noticed how exhausting it was for my eyes and gradually adapted my setup to fix it. I moved my screens further away, kept the UI large enough, and started adjusting the screen brightness depending on the light conditions in my room. The most recent change was automatic dark/light mode depending on the time of day.
As a teenager I often used to have headaches, and I'm sure my computer setup prior to those changes played a role in this. I'd argue it's the same for a lot of other people who chalk those signs up as inherent to using computers, something they can't fix.
