Ah, I figured out why display:flex was there. The default content depends on it to center the content vertically:

jupyterlab/packages/inspector/style/base.css

Lines 49 to 55 in 52a3305

	.jp-Inspector-default-content {
	align-items: center;
	justify-content: center;
	font-size: xx-large;
	font-style: italic;
	color: darkgray;
	}

I think it's probably even better to not center vertically? Then people looking at the top of the tab for content don't miss the function. But we probably should go ahead and delete the relevant items in the default-content css (or just add back in the display:flex there)

Could you put in one more PR to add display:flex back into .jp-Inspector-default-content? I should have caught this before merging this PR. That will restore the current behavior, so we don't need to have a discussion about how to change the current behavior of the default content.

opened #6935 !

oh wait my bad I confused the classes, I will change the commit on the PR there
