Hard disagree. Vertical space is a scarce resource and I hate when it's used for dead space I can't get rid of or use productively. Alt-drag is the way to go.

That's ridiculous. 640x480 used to be the norm for Windows, and now monitors with 4.5x that vertical resolution are common.
Instead you should be complaining about the trend of apps spacing everything out with excessive amounts of padding.

Vertical space should not be scarce. 16:9 or worse display is the root issue. Framework has a 3:2 and it is lovely though a bit glossy for my taste. Portrait external is another option.

Both on my main machine at home and in the office, I have a 32" 2560*1440 screen and a 24ish 1080p (they work out more it is the same pixel pitch) beside it, which I often effectively use as three portrait screens, sometimes using FancyZones so that the divide on the 32 isn't right in the middle. The setup is a bit tall when sat thought, potentially causing neck strain, but I tend to use the standing desk in up position so that isn't an issue. Tall screens are much nicer than landscape IMO.
