I don't see the reason to argue that both sides shouldn't have the option to choose what they want vs just 1 side winning though? It was easier to view in the old vs the new, since its to compact and less space to view making it extremely annoying to click back and forth, and not having the option for either is annoying as well.
Not to mention they already stated the 5x7 layout for x 4 panel vs 2 which was the argument to begin with (which multiple people pointed out to you as well), not sure why you left it out in your comment. It's not about winning, its about appeasing both sides, its not hard to think of everyone.
