I'm not disagreeing with you, but is this perhaps the reason why this is happening? If we have so much more space, we've got room for extra big bars. If we get higher resolutions, smaller fonts are (possibly) harder to read, so we make them bigger.
Maybe I'm just making stuff up, though.
- manigandham 9y agoMaybe, but there's definitely a reduction in actual information density instead of just filling out the screen. Way too many clicks to go through menus now for the sake of keeping things "clean".
- reilly3000 9y agoResponsive design sort of forces these trade offs as mobile screen real estate and the demand for consistentcy across devices means dumbing down to the smallest possible screen.
