I think most people, including me, appreciate how it looks cleaner though. On Android I get you, they should allow custom themes, but for Linux you can easily swap to a more information dense one.
The problem with "cleanness" is that individual elements of a data structure more complex than a tiered list blend together without visual separation. It very quickly becomes illegible.
Well, you can switch to non-GTK applications but beyond that you can't really get more information density into apps that follow the Adwaita design language. You can't even really theme them.
You can absolutely use custom GTK themes. I used WhiteSur theme for a while before switching back to default
Doesn't that require extensions, which are only semi-supported?
No, just the GNOME Tweaks app. And extensions are fully supported in my experience, by the way
