The point of TF3D IS to be less info-dense than other options. This makes it more finger friendly, relatively simple, intuitive and user-friendly. It's about user experience. It allows WM to be used in an entirely different way than before (and most importantly come from the factory that way), which people may prefer and may be a reason for them to purchase the device.

Presumably, future versions will be more customizable (the HD version is already moreso) ... this is a relatively young interface, give it some time.
