Your eyes deceive you. Prior MacOS versions have more overall padding (50pt) but it's put entirely within the tab itself. The new tabs have some margin between each tab and a much smaller padding within tabs, for overall what looks to be ~40pt.
The new design sacrifices the 'X' hover-over on the left side of each tab, presumably in favor of an 'X' that overlaps the tab title.
