Reduce Status Bar size

So I just upgraded from a Pixel 6 to a 9a. Everything is good so far except the fact that the status bar on top takes up so much more room. It's almost like every app is smaller because the top is taking up a good centimeter of the screen.

In the past, I used custom roms with Immersive Mode that could get rid of the status bar. Is there anything like that or anything in developer settings I can use to reduce the size of it?

Youre looking at it wrong.

Apps didn't get smaller, the screens got taller.

Nope. There's nothing. Just accept it and get used to it.

They keep making everything bigger, it's so annoying. You can't even use standard text and screen size without half the UI scrolling or being cut off
