Right, but I'm questioning if it was really a feature or a workaround.

If the app *requires* a larger/maximum size, then why does it not open
at that size? 
For anything different, we have an option to manually resize.

Every use-case folks mentioned here, an alternate *custom* size is
required. 
This would require to either: 
1- resize a window from the normal state to custom size
or
2- restore a maximized window and - then resize to custom size.

Currently it is not possible to immediately resize maximized windows, if
someone wants a different custom size.
A maximized state actually makes it longer to do things.
