There's no good reason for it to be wide - they just like to have giant clickable areas, presumably for usability's sake. Why, then, did they detach it..? I dunno. We could fit the same functionality into the same space as the current layer switcher. (Or, if we used more vertical space below the layer name, we could also add trace/via width info alongside the visibility button.)
