If it’s not maximized, the space isn’t wasted. The title in the response image looks incredibly crowded. May be ok if several buttons could be removed from the titlebar.

It's literally wasted because it's used for nothing useful. Also, you can have other apps that now can take up less area.
Titlebars are quite useful, I use them frequently to move, raise, lower, and maximize windows.
Oh sure, but some people use more ergonomic ways to perform those actions, so to them the title bars would be a waste even if not maximized
Nothing more “ergonomic” than a titlebar. Discoverable, standard, usable.
Many people use tiling window managers, so title bars become useless. The first thing I did in configuring ghostty was disabling window decoration for this reason.
Probably ten times more people don’t.
