Agree upon that this really is a poor decision.

Linux is a multi-workspace operating system and this has to be
considered on designing features.

Assume the following as one of examples:
- the user has set up a number of workspaces
- a nautilus window exists on two or more workspaces

This design decision then makes it very hard to find those nautilus windows located on other workspaces without having to: 
- manually browse through all workspaces
- click the launcher folder button each time (window could be hidden)
Not really a user friendly way of working.

There are ways to solve this deficiency, e.g:
- make it configurable
- combine it with a key
- revert this decision

So what I'm trying to state here is that features like this one must
consider the fact that Linux is a multi-workspace operating system.
