I tried this, putting the event filter in my platform theme plugin where it 
affects each and every widget in each and every application when that plugin is 
set to load at startup :)

Doesn't help. In fact, it makes interfaces even more "bloated" than they are, 
with even more space among widgets than is already being (IMHO) wasted. I'm not 
really sure if that's something that shows up in particular in applications 
using KF5 features for their interface but the result is that they look as if 
designed for the visually or motor impaired.
(Or to use an analogy: KDE's new default style is called Breeze to suggest a 
fresh new wind ... the native Mac style could be called Draughty in that mindset 
:))
