True, but it is size adjustable to minimize its footprint and you can always turn it off or on. Frankly, I usually forget its even there and just whine to myself about not being able to see everything.
At the same time, the OP's suggestion of a horizontal alphabetical bar for Title, Author, Series, etcetera could take up just as much space only horizontally instead of vertically. Personally, I'd prefer to lose the real estate from the side rather than the top. Just my opinion.

Something like that doesn't bother me but we all have our irritants.

The beauty of Calibre - optional plugins.
