> Me struggles to understand why users need to adjust the UI per keyboard 

Some users may be unable to operate a mouse due to a physical disability.
Others (in particular power users) might just prefer using the keyboard.

Making all functionality (also) available via keyboard is one of the essential
a11y guidelines/principles, e.g. specified in WCAG:

As a general thought: If there's *generally* no use case to adjust the size of
some UI element (i.e. neither with the mouse, nor with the keyboard), that's
another story and in such cases, the feature of being able to adjust the
width/height/... can possibly be completely removed (independent of whether
it's done using the mouse or the keyboard).

I'm not sure whether that's a good idea for the sidebar though.
What comes to mind is e.g. former WollMux (now "lots",
https://github.com/LibreOffice/lots ) which among others allows to fill in
(sometimes very complex) forms in the sidebar. Being able to adjust the size is
quite useful then, depending on whether you're currently focusing on filling in
the form or seeing the document.
