I think they should change the UI/UX of the receive tab in Bitcoin Core, I think they should never have changed the design of the tab, just compare how much more practical it was to receive to a new address or reuse an old one in the old UI, the old addresses were listed in the same tab, we could generate a new QR code from any address (with a new address or reused).

You got the point of the receiving tab's UI, the goal is to advocate the use of a new address in every transaction for the user's privacy.

Think about it, is it better to set a default behavior that results with better privacy for those who don't understand how the wallet works;
Or set the default to reuse address that could be bad for the user's privacy?
People who knows its consequences and know that it's reusable will reuse addresses whether their wallet's receiving address is giving then new addresses every time.
On the other hand, people who don't know how it works but don't intend to re-use their address should be adviced to reuse their address just because it can be reused.

For the latest GUI: If the user needs to re-use an address, he can just open one of his invoice and copy that invoice's address, much like in the old version.
Or go to his receiving address list in "Window->Receiving Addresses".

For greater privacy, it's best to use bitcoin addresses only once. You can change addresses as often as you want using Options->Change Your Address..
