    why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button

    Probably because you can double-click the window ‘bar’ to achieve the same.

      Interesting. KDE too but you also have a button. Makes more sense to control windows through buttons instead of a button, a doubleclick on a bar and a keystroke (meta)

        The reason it was cut is more about the drag action, dragging to panel maximizes and grabbing it will automatically restore it down. It’s basically combined with the move window action.
