The teeny tiny "Fill" button is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in a UI overhaul. A total misunderstanding of how their own product is used.

Settings < Autofill < Click items to autofill from Vault

Of course it's not under Settings -> Appearance where the similar "Show quick copy actions on vault" option is. Why should an option that only affects the UI be in "appearance".

Because it barely changes the appearance at all? The actual effect of that setting is to change the behavior of the button to be autofill. The only visual change is that the small "Fill" button is removed.

It fundamentally changes the appearance of the UI, what are you talking about?

These are screenshots from the extension, before and after checking that autofill box. The only visual change is the missing "Fill" button, because now clicking on the item itself preforms the fill action. The rest of the UI looks exactly the same.

100% this is one of those changes that makes me doubtful of Bitwarden being a well maintained service in perpetuity.

Like, if this change was an accident and slipped through that is bad. If it was approved, it's even worse because as you said, it shows that the person who is in charge of how we, the users, interact with the product day-to-day doesn't understand the product or doesn't take their role seriously.
