What I don't get is why they don't design UIs with a status bar on the side - you have so much waster horizontal real estate both in landscape monitors, with every website, code editor having huge bars on the either side of the text.

Smartphones are portrait screens and its clear that having only that much horizontal real estate is enough.

I always put my taskbar on the side, both on MacOS and Windows. Well, I used to on Windows but apparently that’s too much to ask from Windows 11.
