I always found windows (not the os) to be pretty annoying. Having a full screen app, or two full screen apps side by side is way more usable than a window on top of another that keeps getting lost, or you have to move it around all the time to see what’s underneath.

On large (>24-inch) monitors I prefer windows, but on smaller monitors I typically prefer full screen apps, for the reasons you mention.

I think the title bars are pretty outdated too. They take up a lot of monitor real estate. The hide expand maximize buttons along can be hidden in the right click menu. Going all the way to the top of a window for those items is a waste of time. If you have to read a titlebar to see what app/file you’re working with, it’s a bad app.
