(Which I never use) is technically good UX design. Corners are super easy to position your mouse in.
I have 2 24" monitors, 3840x1080 pixels. The corners are actually pretty far from where ever my mouse is right now, and not all that easy to hit on purpose. Accidentally, all the time. With a touchpad it's even worse -- they were always being activated when I didn't want them to be. And there is literally nothing in that bar I need to use.
The Wifi panel is actually great UX because the process of setting up Wifi does not bounce all over the screen (as it did previously).
It's an overlay which means it floats over your work while you're waiting for the Wifi connection to fail. It's just entirely unnecessary UI which doesn't fit in with anything else on the desktop.
Fitt's Law, look it up.
Fitt's law is frankly bullshit these days. I have way too many pixels for it to make sense and I've had 20+ years of using a mouse.
