I agree that brightness should be easier to reach. On my Dell monitor, it can be configured to be behind one button press, then changed with up / down. On my LG monitor, it's atrocious. Have to go 2-3 layers deep with an awful joystick. This is one of the reasons I absolutely love my Apple display. It changes brightness automatically and most of the time it does it right. Also, DDC/CI is a thing and (sometimes) works. On Windows, I've found Twinkle Tray on the store works reasonably well. For Linux there's ddcci-dkms on Ubuntu and ddcci-driver-linux-dkms for Arch Linux (on the AUR). They allow configuring the brightness as a regular backlight device. See the Arch Linux Wiki [0].
