Simple solution for Shortcuts bar?

I think there’s an elegant fix here that Volvo could implement for people who don’t like the double (triple) bars …

They should provide a toggle in Settings to permanently turn on/off the smart widgets bar (top most bar). This way, the home button will toggle the Shortcuts/Contextual bar instead.

I would think no CarPlay (and Android?) user would miss the widget bar. I certainly have NEVER used it since both widgets take you to the CarPlay interface just like the button in the shortcuts bar.

Let me know if I’m not thinking of a scenario where this wouldn’t work.
