Kind of an entitled ask, best to quash out of the gate, => NAB nor a well
stated enhancement request.  

What makes you think you are the first to observe this inadequacy? And, why
should you as a casual user "expect" an open source and very "cross-platform"
project to do anything? Have you tested on the other os/DE to be able to make
informed suggestions?

For example have you checked the behavior with adjusted Display and Text
scaling as noted in comment 2?

Well, that is a long running discussion. Doing more requires a major investment
in the native code needed to fully implement os/DE specific source needed to
move LibreOffice fully to a MS Ribbon style UI *cross-platform*, with the
majority of developers interested in Linux os/DE issues and support of the ODF
document model and interoperability with MS's OOXML document model. 

The current GTK UI and UNO assemblages, known as MUFFIN, only get us so far.
And there is little developer interest to implement unnecessary native MS or
Apple API calls to replace what are currently implemented cross platform.
Native API support for Windows or macOS is not a very high priority, only what
is functionally necessary.

If you are interested in issues around adopting the Tabbed UI as default, see
bug 135501, and from there links to related Notebook Bar issues.
