I'm not asking anything, I just wanted to share my feedback, as I'm sure there's a lot of people struggling with this same thing.
As a UI designer, I find very difficult to adapt to this new positioning of back button in Finder on Big Sur. Since it has always been under exit button and after years of using it, I keep clicking on that place and I end up closing my Finder every time, because back button is moved towards the middle now.
Moving a button is not a terrible thing, but it is kinda upsetting if it involves a chance to accidentally close something.

I understand your point, but visibly the purpose was to get rid of title extra toppling in windows. Just as it is in Safari for instance. And to do this they had to move < and > buttons (exactly in Safari's position°

However, it seems everyone does not appreciate some changes …
