That may have been true circa 2010, but in the past decade we've seen rich settings menus and compact, information dense interfaces stripped away in favor of "mobile first" designs.

Typically, whenever a website / program I use gets a UI update, the only change is that all padding on buttons, text, etc. has been increased by 50% meaning I need to scroll in order to see a 5-item list! Windows 10 control panel is an example of this phenomenon.

Damn do I hate this. One specific example that pops out in my head is when I upgraded from Sony movie studio 12 to 13, and the only difference between the versions was that every button and menu had been expanded in size to be enormous with tons of whitespace.

Why the fuck would they do that to a desktop program in 2014, it wasn't even for mobile.
