Ubuntu 21.10 (and therefore presumably Pop!_OS) ships with GNOME 40, not GNOME 3.

Thank you, that is a meaningful distinction I should've paid more attention to.

This reddit thread sums up my issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/o27q4z/gnome_3_vs_gn...

Forcing horizontal workspaces, and requiring an extension to go back to vertical, seems like a regression.

It's kind of a coincidence that the big Shell UI changes happened at the same time as the big version number jump, but it is a convenient coincidence.
