You are welcome!

Well, actually by default none of them have a close button. There is the action
"Un/Lock Panels" which decides whether those panels have an extra bar with a
close button. By default, all of these bars are hidden and there is no visible
close button for any of those panels. You can find the "Lock Panels" action in
the menu bar in View->Show Panels or if you don't have a menu bar enabled in
Open Menu->Show Panels.

So we actually don't want to introduce extra bars by default only to have close
buttons there.

It does make sense. This is a bit of a question whether one values this
specific issue more highly than the lost screen space by having an extra bar. I
wouldn't want to add an extra bar that takes away from the main view, so that's
why I came up with the idea of only showing what will happen on hover.
