I believe this is a bug. I can’t think of any good reason for the left panel to show only half as much information as it did before. The settings menu is more difficult to use because it requires much more scrolling.

This is an intentional change, but as mentioned in the changelog there are plans to make refinements in the future:
For suggestions, please visit The Minecraft Feedback Site or visit the Minecraft Feedback Discord server.
I don't think this is a bug because they listed in the User Interface 1.21.100.23 Preview changelog:
We've made some adjustments to the spacing of items in the settings menus in this update. Work is still ongoing, and we plan to make further refinements in future updates!
But I don’t know if this correct or not
