Limitations of Find My app

I've just started using the Find My app and it has limitations I don't like (or maybe I don't understand how to use the app.)

On the left side of the app is a pane that contains either People, Devices, or Items. But I can't resize the pane (larger, to the right) to be able to read more data in that pane. Most apps, like Safari, allow me to resize the left pane. Why does this app prohibit that common feature?

Also, I'd like each item in the pane to show more information. As it is now, I have to click on the item in the pane then read the details in the pop-up on the right pane, but if that doesn't show what I want, I have to click on the "info" symbol popup button to get more information. And then the pop-up window is in such a small font on my screen, and the text is printed in a dark-grey on light-grey background, it's very hard to read on a 4K monitor. And the app doesn't let me resize the text (Safari allows me to press keys to make the interface more readable.) Apple makes such a big deal about "Accessibility" but this app is so darn inaccessible.

And then to make matters worse, the Find My app doesn't have a system dictionary attached to it, so I can't use AppleScript to fix its problems.

And then to make matters even worse, the Shortcuts App in Monterey doesn't come with any tools for getting data out of the Find My app.

This app seems to go against most of Apple's principles for good app design. It's like a half-baked cookie. The Find My help app does have resizeable text and panes, but the Find My app itself does not.

In fact, in the pop-up window you can't read the full address if the address is longer than about 34 characters. The app truncates the address and there is simply no way to get it. There's no way to resize the window, or the font, or do anything, in order to read the address. The information is totally inaccessible.
