Why does clicking latest at top of mobile open a menu at the bottom

This UX choice is terrible for anyone with bad myopia happening to be viewing the page without corrections (i.e. waking up wanting to quickly check “latest”, say). I literally have to physically move the phone to get the dumb menu at the bottom of the phone in view. Isn’t there a fundamental UX principle about proximity that this nonsense violates? Can you please make this configurable so that people for wrong whom it is uncomfortable can turn it off forever.
