@vkc I don't believe anyone is arguing otherwise, especially not the people who disagree with that decision. It's just that the GNOME maintainers have a habit of not implementing features they have decided that users don't need, ranging from little things like this to maximize and minimize buttons, and I believe it's understandable to not like this mindset and think those things should at least be configurable.
"Some people like the GNOME way of doing things and those people are okay" and "One of the main draws of Linux is escaping the one-size-fits-all paradigm that Windows and MacOS are leaning into more and more lately, and the GNOME maintainers' attitude of "if you don't like your desktop how we like ours, don't use GNOME" is disappointing" are not mutually exclusive ideas.
