I think I know what you mean. When I encounter people who think everyone
else should do things the way they do, I similarly want to cringe.

Point taken - but, the happy medium is somewhere in between (never
saying _anything_ when we see someone doing something in a way we think
could be changed to benefit _them_, and always saying "do it my way").
Some softwares (word processing often) default to maximised, which may
be appropriate for some users but not all, especially where a large (and
non-portrait) monitor is in use, but some users may never have thought
of changing it (or in some cases may not be aware they can), so
_suggestion_ is never out of place, if made diplomatically.

I've found software generally only opens maximized when run for the
first time. After that, window size and position is remembered.

I guess they just
never think there may be a better way to do things, so they get the job
done faster.

Either that, or they're doing things exactly how they want to do them.

Nothing lost by asking, though, as long as you accept that answer if
they give it.
