Apparently this is in preparation for the new "Proton UI", which is one of those things the design teams in big companies do to justify their existence. I just downloaded Nightly, which already has the Proton UI, and indeed compact mode is hidden behind an about:config option and it's a bit taller than the one featured in the current UI. I really can't fathom why this has to be the case.

If its anything like they did with the URL bar, it will be in about config for the next release, and then gone the release after that.
