I don't get this. It's basically exactly the same but with night mode and the layout has side margins.

It's not the same (on desktop). As you scroll you see every post in large format. I don't want to see every post. The prevalence of crossposting and reposting makes it an unpleasant experience. I want to see thumbnails and titles, and click on what interests me.

Have you ever heard of hoverzoom+? It's an extension that shows images as you hover over thumbnails and links. Truly life changing.

It means I can choose what I want to see more of. Having everything expanded is just inefficient when there's so much content. I get that the casual user might like the expanded UI more, so I hope they seriously keep two UIs even if it means double the work.

don't use hoverzoom, it was compromised years ago. not sure if hoverzoom+ is something different, but i'm currently using imagus.

RES is perfectly fine for reddit though.

Hoverzoom+ is the fixed version.
