I presume you meant "... can fill the screen ...".

I'd actually find this use case useful, along with it's sister case,
moving a maximized window:

With a multi-head setup, a maximimzed window will cover only one head.
It's sometimes easier to maximize an app, then go and resize it.  Being
able to move it (to the other head(s)) just by dragging would also be
useful.

I can certainly remember trying to do this a few times and going 
"Hey, why can't I do that?".
