It can be metrics driven the whole way.
- Compact mode is rarely used and a pain to maintain

Except it was tucked away in a small dropdown at the bottom of the customize toolbar screen, which requires right-clicking the toolbar to get to. If it was in the actual settings somewhere or, better yet, given as an option during the first launch flow, I imagine more people would've used it. I didn't even know about it until after it became unsupported.
