Description
This would technically break visual backwards compatibility although wouldn't affect anyone's code. @avehtari pointed out that for some plots we have a y-axis that serves no purpose and the plots look better without it. For example, the new mcmc_dots() function doesn't include the y-axis for this reason, but functions like mcmc_dens() and others include the y-axis for no reason.

Research direction
Start by comparing the y-axis treatment in mcmc_dots() with mcmc_dens() and the other plotting functions mentioned in the issue. Identify plots where the y-axis has no purpose, then verify that those plots render without it while the requested visual change does not affect code usage.
