> I could see a highly hydrophilic capillary restricting a vapor enough to where it has better entropy in a liquid state.
My other comment here (and and a reply to a similar question) has more detail [1], but in short: this is true for capillaries and pores, it is not true for "collectable" droplets on a flat surface.
Replied to that comment as well but per the article they're not droplets on a flat surface, but rather droplets connected to pores by surface tension.
