While I agree with this point, I also like my interfaces small. Because, since I don't click around on them, I don't like them taking up space.
I also use a mouse on my PC, so I'm fairly precise in case I want to use the icons. There's no need to blow them up, so my fat fingers wouldn't misclick on a tablet.
I like to code with two windows side by side, usually IDE + browser for docs, sometimes on a small screen. I'd rather have the extra pixels for the docs instead of random useless space around the IDE's widgets.
I just wish the panels would default hide. I run bazel sync and half my window is build logs until I get around to closing them. If it’s not in active use, maybe after 5s, get it out of the way of code.
