Yes, it's overthinking. It's not so much about multi-monitor, which Apple has had working since the 80s, it's about the interaction with the full-screen mode they introduced in 10.7.
At first they blanked non-primary screens when an app entered full-screen, now they're offering this multiple totally-independent bodge.

It doesn't seem to be much different from maximizing in Windows but ever since full-screen support was introduced it's been a bizarre combination of good ideas and the kind of bad ideas that only come about from never actually using the feature. There's other issues with multi-monitor support in OS X that it sounds like they're addressing in Mavericks, but these other issues as well as loads of app compatibility ones I've been reading about are enough to keep me from upgrading.
