When I touch the mouse I need to have access to UI that lets me manage my desktop with the pointer. When I am not using the mouse why clutter the screen with unnecessary UI? Same if the system detects that I am about to use my thumb to touch the screen.
I think the UI should adapt to the user inputs instead of trying to dictate to the user how to work.

Most commands can be entered by keyboard, including many commands for window management; some can use the keyboard and mouse together (e.g. to manually change the position and/or size of a window). However, sometimes it may be helpful to display status indicators, e.g. if you have both tiled and floating windows, it can help to display an indicator for this. Also, an operating system design might involve capabilities, and the status of these capabilities (e.g. audio, network, automation, etc) might also be displayed as window indicators that the user can adjust (mute, redirect, etc).
