In bug#45688 I proposed on displaying the Help buffer to call a hook like temp-buffer-window-setup-hook or temp-buffer-window-show-hook with the default value shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer or fit-window-to-buffer. Then users can customize it and remove resizing that will make it more useful for anyone who needs to reuse the Help window to visit source code.
