How do I make everything smaller on iPad?

I am currently using an iPad 10th gen, and with the new update iPad OS 26, it seems that iPad can replace my laptop, as it has become better at multitasking. The problem is that despite the ample screen size of the iPad, everything is very big, like optimised for touch. But I am using a bluetooth keyboard, so I don’t require everything that big. I have heard about using an external monitor but that is not an option for me. Is there any solution to this?
