You may be already aware of this, but macOS Ventura (maybe earlier versions too) changed System Preferences to work more similarly to iOS. Lots of scrolling and nearly all the checkboxes are toggle switches.

See, you guys don't understand, they only changed the categories (that's understandable because they added plenty, similar to the permission menu), the content menu and controls remain the same, optimized for a trackpad and mouse+KB combo

Again, compare this with the Gnome/GTK screenshot I shared above..

UX for vertical vs horizontal screens (desktop/laptop vs smartphone), macOS did it right, Gnome did it wrong and Windows is following Gnome's mistake

XFCE's file manager vs Gnome's one

One optimized for trackpad and mouse/KB combo, the other is looking like a smartphone UX, you constantly need to scroll, and "tap" on huge controls, not optimized for a mouse pointer, and not optimized for keyboard navigation

GNOME has been trying (unsuccessfully) to copy the Mac look and feel for several years.
