this did also align the usages view with other very similar
inspection
windows which already had a preview panel.

I too find it distracting. It reminds me of the bug where files will
start opening down there instead of up in the editor area.
A toggle to disable it would be great, as you say "you can't please
everyone" but as long as it is optional you can get closer :-)
we had the toggle via toolbar implemented already. However, after
discussion we decided to not do it yet since it would have to be
consistent between all inspection windows.
There is also nothing special about the usages view. it is one view
among many which all have previews, see comment for screenshot:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/7694#issuecomment-2376739040
I am a bit confused why it is perceived as a problem there, but nowhere
else.
Changing this everywhere would have blown up the PR and changing it only
there is not good from UX consistency perspective - since the next
question would be "why can't I turn it off in insert-other-window".
But contributions are welcome - tricky part is to chase all the
implementations down.
