In my mind, it seems to mark more sense to have a maximized window consume
the whole screen, and use smaller windows only when you want to view other
information. Since a non-maximized window already allows you to view other
information, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to duplicate this
behavior with maximize, particularly as it would come at the cost of losing
traditional maximization.
