why are we restricted to windowed layouts of applications? I think we can get more creative than that. I would like a more fully immersive experience that doesn't try to mimic our constrained current experience. Getting to the pixel level and determining the outcome based on that is missing the forest for the trees.

For the same reason we're "restricted" to pages in books.

Yup, if we discard utility.
