Right. I am guessing they kept the windowing to have fewer menu "jumps" -- but
even the top menu I am guessing is no longer an advantage on larger screens as
it was in the '80s and '90s.

So for those who say I defend Apple right or wrong, while I do not think your
issue is a big one, I do think it is a real one, and there are some cases
where I can understand being frustrated by it. I personally prefer document
centric, but have to say this has rarely if ever been a big issue for me.
