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

Don't know about all book stores, but our company prioritizes space based on sales. Our fantasy/scifi sections expanded as soon as ACOTAR exploded. Now that it's shifting to dark romance, that section will expand and fantasy/scifi will shrink.
