WTH Why do built in cards waste so much space?

I would appreciate if we could adjust the scale of cards, similar to how it already automatically adjusts depending on the screen size. I find that a lot of the built-in cards have way too much wasted space that doesn’t do anything.

If each card had a compact version, that would also be nice. i find that a lot of the cards such as the Thermostat one are just too huge.

I know I could just use custom cards, but it seems like a lot of the most popular cards in HACS are just compact versions of the default ones, which proves that a lot of people feel similar to how I do.

I have attached some examples of the built-in cards vs some custom ones (credit: mini-climate and Mushroom)
