Bio:
I am on the Canvas admin team at Northwestern University, where I have been supporting Canvas since 2020. Before that, I worked in undergraduate course support for a large department at the university and lead efforts to shift our courses to online delivery in March 2020. In addition to providing Canvas support for Northwestern, our team also focuses on promoting digital accessibility, facilitating updates and changes to Canvas, and leading distributed admins. So I spend pretty much all day thinking about and working in Canvas!

This is a good observation. You should consider submitting it as an idea in the Canvas Ideas area for further consideration by Canvas developers.
