Should TBB always start in partial window size?

Vanilla Firefox starts in maximized mode, if that was the state when 
closed (I think).
TBB always starts in partial screen mode, even if last closed while in 
full screen.  Many apps remember the last screen size.
Is there an anonymity reason to have TBB  start in partial screen?

It's a problem (in Windows) if I change the system DPI setting from 
default (96 DPI) to anything larger.  Even 105 - 110 DPI causes TBB's 
screen size buttons to be off the monitor.

Then the only way to maximize the UI is grab TBB's bottom border & drag 
it up.
That makes enough of TBB's title bar visible, to drag the window down & 
see the size buttons.

The method that works to make some apps start in full screen, of 
R-clicking the app's shortcut > Properties, then from the "Run" box 
select "maximized" has no effect on TBB starting size.
Thanks.
