I don't hate material design itself, because there's plenty of guidelines for condensed content. It's just that web designers and app artists don't seem to understand that not everything needs whitespace for miles.
A condensed table in material design strikes a nice balance between whitespace and information density in my opinion. It's just sad that nobody uses it.
I'm also that person that has their DPI set to "small" on my phone though. I bought a phone with nearly 6 inches of screen diagonal and I could barely see any more information on it then on my old 3.5" phone from almost a decade ago. Cranked it down in the setting to just above the point where apps start displaying tablet UI on my phone and I've been very happy with it.
We need to take away design from artists and hand it back to specialised UI designers in my opinion. It'd make phones a lot easier to use.
The problem I see with abolishing material design is that a whole range of elderly people have now gotten used to it. Changing all the layouts for apps and websites would quickly lead to a disaster on the scale of Windows 8 for those who can barely grasp technology as it is. I'd much rather keep the waste of whitespace if I couldn't chat with my grandma otherwise.
