GNOME devs have a fixation on putting too much whitespace in every UI. They also conform so eagerly to the "Free Software UI" essay preachings---particularly the section, "Standing Up To User Pressure"[1]---thus they find it effortless to defend not fixing poorly presented frontends.

(My own app menu on a 24" monitor at 100% scale has: "LibreOffic..." as well as "LibreOffic..." and the very useful, underrated "LibreOffic...". I also often use "KiCad G...", "KiCad P...", and "KiCad S..." but usually never "KiCad I..." or "KiCad P...")
