I know, I keep coming back to this. And this isn't about Liquid Glass...

I think we're in this awful state of layouts because of full-height sidebars and compressing the title bar into the toolbar.

Full-height sidebars do not aid in anything. They just serve to eat more of your toolbar space. When you mix that with combining the toolbar with the titlebar -- well you end up with no space at all...

I think this forced Apple Design to moving player controls to the bottom.
