I don’t understand the fascination with maximising windows, especially web browsers. What the hell is the point of filling my screen with the window when, for the vast majority of websites, half or more of it is gonna be empty margin?

Centering. If it's not fullscreen, it's hard to center the windows properly, and I hate looking at a floating window.
Kiosks/dashboards where the display is what matters, not the navigation.
