Well the first reason is that the Dash is a scope in Unity 8.

I wonder that there's no desktop design story yet.  I wonder if it makes 
sense to be a full-screen overlay that the Super key can access, and can 
be resized smaller if desired (like it is today in Unity 7).

But if it's essential on a phone or tablet, you probably won't want it 
to just disappear when you plug your device into a monitor, so surely 
there must be a great, adaptable way to present that aspect of Unity.
