> Google et al are adding padding and white space to make their UIs more accessible for more people. It's not just eye sight we're talking here, but also physical issues with clicking/tapping small targets accurately (e.g. someone with Parkinson's), and also neuro divergent issues where a page full of text or whatever can disorient just by sheer amount of stuff happening on-screen at once (e.g. epilepsy)
We’re not in a physical world and FAANG is not bound by money (no, I don’t care about budget allocated to specific teams, I’m sure Android team has Pichai’s credit card), so why are we settling for lowest common denominator instead of creating best UIs for every user type?
