There has to be a name ("Foobar's Law") for the idea that computers are optimized to developers' needs. In my open office floor plan the people who have two monitors do heavy spreadsheet work. In some fields of work deeply horizontal sheet designs (long timelines for cashflow models) are common, which makes non-maximized windows impracticable. More generally, most of the common office worker's day is developing spreadsheets and writing reports on them. Not having to alt-tab is invaluable in such situations. (Myself, I use a laptop with an additional monitor. The laptop screen is smaller and "underprivileged", it runs web research and work chat, the larger screen holds whatever I'm intensively working on.)
