But now it's also apparently larger! I'm sure I'm not the only person hoping for an Apple Watch that is reasonably thin and small.

I'd love that old 38mm watch, but thinner.

The problem is more little mini watch apps are adding more functionality / touchable area, to the point it's hard on my older 41mm (I think? Maybe 40?) watch to touch some of the touch areas.

I'm guessing most devs use the giant size watches.

Even Apple themselves are guilty of ridiculously small touch targets these days. Hold the side button until the emergency screen comes up. I defy you to hit the “power off” button on a 40mm watch on the first try. Hell, I have a hard enough time on my AW Ultra with these old eyes.

The if you compare the 45mm series 8 from two years ago and the new 46mm series 10, it’s 1mm wider, 1mm taller, and 1mm thinner.

Not much of a change on the other axis. The thickness is mostly notable because that’s about 10% gone.

Can’t have as much ads, distractions and other “engagement” features on a small screen.

Even the biggest Apple Watch screen is still tiny by any reasonable metric.

They aren't filling the extra space with "distractions", they are giving you space for an extra widget or two and making it marginally less painful to type.

I have had an Apple Watch for some time now, and have never once seen a single ad on it. As far as distractions I get only the notifications I want.
