When you open an app, its window only stretches from the top of the display to the top of the Dock, so you’re missing out on some valuable space. By default, macOS displays the Dock at the bottom of the screen, and it’s always visible. When you’ve got limited screen space available, it’s a good idea to use every pixel of it.
