It's not about modernity. Both menus+toolbars and a ribbon-like UI are, at this
point, 'old'.

The indeed benefit greatly from customizing the interface - but they do that
using the menus + toolbars interface, which professional users, with few
exceptions, prefer.

Note that MS Office and other office productivity suites with a ribbon-like
interface only offer a static one.

Our Notebookbar It used to be partially customizable (no reodering, but with
the ability to toggle items on and off); but even the limited customizability
made other improvements difficult and slow to implement. It was decided - among
other things, due to lack of expressed interest in NBB customization - to drop
this capability and allow for those other improvements.

What you're asking for is a making the notebookbar into a full-fledged
customizable meta-widget. That is actually a huge amount of work, much of which
would be in the underlying GUI toolkits / frameworks (GTK, Qt, Skia, etc.) . I
believe that is outside the scope of LibreOffice as a project. Convince me
otherwise?
