What part do you think is so big?  I find it's quite minimal.

I think so as well. Interested to learn the concern

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Fedora 37. I don't boot
into Windows nearly as much as I do Fedora. But, when I do, I'm always
struck by how much more I seem to be able to fit on my 3440x1440
display in Windows than I can in GNOME.

In GNOME, the font used is bigger, the window borders are thicker,
buttons are bigger and there just seems to be more padding around
everything. I don't understand why windows in GNOME have such a thick
top bar. The Windows GUI in comparison is tighter and more compact
(overall).

It's obviously a stylistic choice that GNOME has made. I just find it
bulky and almost cartoonish. It's a clean look, for sure, but huge.

Did any of that help in understanding what I meant?

I had a friend who also thought this, I had recommended she try Fedora in one of its other iterations?....(KDE....XFCE....CInnamon) to see if something else might not be more to her liking...she ended up with KDE...and while its not Gnome?...it IS "Fedora" which matters the most!! Just a suggestion...
