If that minor issue is a reason to recompile a whole ui-toolkit, then I guess you should just stop applying any os update at all...

It's not actually that complicated, iirc, I have an ansible script to trigger the build based on a 2-line patch.

The maintainers proposed a similar patch to Gnome/GTK as a hidden option in dconf, but iirc their dev team took the opinionated 'our way or the highway' approach, as they've done on many other occasions.

unafraid of change ≠ happy with any particular change

It's very much possible to be unafraid of change and still have strong preferences.
