Do you interact with a lot of people using macs? I find that Mac users don’t maximize their windows. They leave them cluttered everywhere; all the people I know on Windows maximize their windows.

Do you have a tiny monitor? I find that people with small mointors maximize their windows because they have to.

I have a 27" widescreen. The idea of maximizing a browser window is absurdity. My monitor can comfortably show three websites side by side. The amount of wasted white space on a full screen website would approach 90%.

Here's this very post fullscreened (without a taskbar). What a wild waste of space and the content is clearly not designed to be viewed like this, with the UX being located at the top left lol.

No I have the same size monitor. I don’t think HN is the best website to choose to make your point though.

Ok here's another one, a news site. https://i.imgur.com/4s6Jzvn.png

What does having 60% of my screen be purple do for me? Why would you choose that?
