I prefer to blame Rider because it's the only app where I encounter this problem, and it seems more like a "don't make your list of menu entries so long it spans the notch and pokes into the menu icons" error than anything else to me. Simple as.

Unfortunately for me, it happens to me in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, VSCode, Outlook, Excel (and Word and probably all of the other Microsoft Office apps), LibreOffice, IINA (mpv frontend), CotEditor, IDEA, and QtCreator, just among those installed on my work machine.

Neither Apple nor app developers can control either what font sizes a user needs or how many apps they're running that produce menu bar icons. In that context, "not so long that it [...] pokes into the menu icons" isn't even well-defined enough to mean anything.

It's a computer screen, not a page in some particular print magazine.
