Sorry dude, I don't think it's a place to make fun of anyone ...

Nowadays there are many widgets that are functional, but that are not used for
many reasons. Keeping a horizontal bar that occupies several pixels just for
the title and window controls seems debatable to me... that is the point.

Okay, I see a lot of bias in your comment. If I mention other platforms it is
because both the macOS reference applications (core-apps) and the new Microsoft
apps + UWP reference don't use titlebar and the new applications for those two
platforms follow the same path.
On the *nix side only KDE (Kwin) has decided to force the use of titlebar
decorated by server side. 

But the point is functionality. Several of my students use laptops with small
monitors of 1366x768 or less resolution, where vertical space is prized,
whereas the new favorite layout will be tabbed NotebookBar. For example WPS
Writer hides the titlebar when the window is maximized and is not something
that depends on the OS/DE, it is simply something useful and can be something
totally optional.
