  On large enough screens (desktop, tablet) we want real window management or tiling and user might want to have a secondary window open for information. For example typing into text editor a summary of a page opened in browser. Just maximizing the active window wouldn't allow that.
  
  Can you expand on the "like a panel with strut" part?
