To be honest I don't think that the window height is that relevant. It does not really matter if there are 500 pixels or 1,000 pixels in the height, some people just want to use the available height because most websites are much larger than the height of the display and for these people it's desirable to get as much on the screen as possible (without any workarounds like using the fullscreen mode or hiding the Dock / task bar).

Also I don't think that it's fair to base a decision on the current usage of the compact mode because Proton has an impact as well. Proton will increase the height of the tab bar by ~ 20 pixels. On my Mozilla related projects (blog, support forum) I already received the feedback from a few users that they will (well, I probably should say: want to) use the compact mode once Proton is released to compensate the new height of the tab bar. So it's not just about taking something away from existing users of the compact mode, it's also about taking something away from users who are currently using the regular density mode.

And that's a data point that can't be measured in advance by telemetry.
