I can no longer switch users since my hands can't reach that far and I no longer have the dexterity to play phone balancing due to my RSI. I have a LG G7 thinq with lineage, I have the button that was used for AI assistance set to click the top left corner since that's fairly ubiquitous.

That opens the right side tray. I can reach all of the stuff with one hand like this. I can no longer do this with the thunder bird UI.

Ah yeah that sounds really frustrating. I'm sure you've tried this already, but does Lineage have support for the one-handed mode gesture? I've had that come in handy (no pun intended) now and then.

I read somewhere that the Thunderbird team was working on fixes for the new drawer UI, here's hoping they take better accessibility in mind!

I do occasionally use the one-handed stuff but unfortunately my RSI means I have poor hand-eye coordination in general which means it's also just really hard to use it like that anyways.

I'll go ahead and leave some feedback. I didn't know they were planning on reworking again.
