Get mad at your desktop window manager, then. Tabs are a hack compensating for insufficient control of the workspace. Well, initially it was for saving memory.

Get mad at your desktop window manager, then. Tabs are a hack compensating for insufficient control of the workspace. Well, initially it was for saving memory. But we've since moved to executing tabs in their own process.
KWin used to allow title-bar level tabs but it didn't work in a lot of clients that expected to have complete control of the frame.
