You definitely raise some valid use cases where you need more real estate, but I think a big reason people on Mac/Windows feel like they need more space is because window management is so poor on those platforms. I came from Linux where I used tiling window managers and I really missed that on Mac. I ended up installing Amethyst and while it's not nearly as powerful as the window managers I was using before, it almost entirely killed my desire for my real estate. Now I can quickly and evenly split my editor, terminal, and browser into various layouts and adjust them as needed.
