I just want it to work without headaches. I don't want workarounds and "turn off all of the extra nonsense" sliders. Call me an old or a Karen. But this is one reason why I picked Mac for 12+ years, and I am increasingly switching my workload to Linux. It's not a fashion accessory for me.

I am willing to learn the new features. But half-assed widgets that get in the way, menu bar quirkiness, losing finder menu settings, and more are increasingly common.

MAYBE you could make an argument if my Mac screen was in vertical portrait layout all the time, you could begin to argue in favor of the thought process behind the current design.

But without that, with a landscape-oriented Mac display, the argument just isn’t there, so the thought process doesn’t make sense.

This is all before you even brain storm actual UI design ideas—the base-argument is invalid.
