So the ribbon should have been optional on mobile devices with touch screens but instead Microsoft chose to impose it on everyone. With a finger you have much less precision than if you are using a mouse or even a stylus, so the icons have to be bigger and have to be spaced further apart. With a touch screen you prod the screen with your finger. The reason Microsoft are so enthusiastic about ribbons is that they see the future of computing in small mobile devices with touch screens, like the Microsoft Surface. If you use the keyboard shortcuts a lot then this is just wasted space. But on a small screen a ribbon is a really bad idea, it takes up far too much room. On a lot of applications the ribbon is optional, you can choose to have the traditional menus and toolbars but on Microsoft applications the ribbon is mandatory whether you like it or not. A few of years ago Microsoft started putting ribbons on most of their applications and trying to promote them as a good idea, “ this is the future” they said and many people believed them.
