I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

There is so much crossover, why make things difficult?

Where would you put Star Wars?

Think it's less about the genres mixing and more about there being less space for both genres. 

I definitely agree they have a lot of overlap

Think Star Wars is SF: Space Opera

Yeah, the comment you're responding to is odd to me. Having separate sections worked just fine for decades.

The scifi and fantasy sections were combined to make room for Romantasy and board games and other things that actually sell well.

Shelf space is shelf space. If they split them up, it would just be two smaller shelves.
