/shrug You can challenge that assumption, and it might be the case for you, but if you’re a developer, or you’re working in applications like DaVinci Resolve, or you’re comparing multiple spreadsheets, or you’re comparing a spreadsheet with your taxes, or the list goes on and on. For example, here is someone developing a game with Unity https://i.sstatic.net/TrHVR.png and they don’t even have their IDE window up!
Your first example is exactly what I’m talking about. 2/3 of screen space are wasted and literally show an empty void. And you’re telling me it’s essential to see that?
I grant you that this might change as development goes on, but as the screenshot stands now, it’s an argument in my favor.
As for the NASA image: I see that all these indicators may be open, so the user can immediately see when one flashes red. That isn’t so much the case for people who have discord (or task manager, WTF?) open on a full screen. Or a calendar, as I mentioned in another comment.
