You can't actually use reason to understand modern UX/UI designers choices. I've just got Windows 11 at work. They've increased the blank space between all the items in the file exporer quite significantly. They clearly don't care about vertical space because I know have to scroll first in places I could click first before.

Yes you can, if you understand the difference between what UX/UI actually is and what it pretends to be. Some of the comments above reflect your same sentiments. It's indicative of childish thinking.
Feel free to enlighten all of us, instead of using ad hominem on this particular comment. I, a lowly uninformed user, would love to know what UX/UI is versus what it pretends to be, so that I might understand the decisions being made in Windows 11.

I would love to enlighten you further but of course my time costs money.
Ha! If only you could charge for time wasted, eh?
Is this a "no real Scotsman" defense of the UI/UX industry becoming subordinate to Marketing Departments?

I've never heard/read of that concept before. Is it the same as there is no such thing as an honest person?
> I've never heard/read of that ["No true Scotsman"] concept before.
Then get some Allgemeinbildung before you spout off on the "enlightenment", or lack thereof, of others.

Just so you know, you can disable that spacing in the file explorer: in the explorer -> View -> Show -> Compact view
