It would be great if "Choose symbol" dialogue in eeschema had the option to maximize the window as does the "Footprint library browser". Come to think of it, names could also be unifed ("Choose symbol" -> "Symbol library browser")

There are both choosers (Choose Symbol & Choose Footprint) and browsers (Symbol Library Browser, Footprint Library Browser) in both apps.

The choosers are tree-based (like the editors), while the browsers are double-list-based. We keep thinking of merging them, but there are things to like about both....

I'll leave the maximize request as a wishlist.
