Description

In the new property pages, the descriptions are good to learn about what a setting does and can help with search. However, they might be seen as visually noisy for people. This is more prominent when you have your environment font turned up.

The highlighted areas indicate that we could fit 2-3 more toggles in the same view if they were turned off:

Note: I personally like them there. This is feedback from dogfooding internally.
