What size are your maximised windows?

1920x1080 on this Intel HD Graphics 520 machine (laptop)

Are you sure? How did you measure the size? And the position? Having
maximised a window, can you still see all its borders?

Maximizing a window fills the screen without borders, and has the same
bounds for its content as does a normalized window with (or without)
borders. (Windows do not require borders; - it's an option!) So then,
what I see to the extents of my screen when maximized is the same as
what I see in the normalized window on my screen.

Yes, you can obviously only *see* as much of your window as your
screen's resolution allows. But if you measure its *size* (and position)
you will find it has changed.

Sorry, not the case; - it's always 0,0 when maximized. I suspect, though,
you find a diff with your 2nd monitor because the res's are not matched.

Size unchanged too? If so, that seems to contradict the fact that you
can no longer see its borders.

Correct, maximized windows do not have visible borders. That said, it assumes
"full-screen" positioning/sizing.

More correctly, stretching borders to the screen edges so they're visible
returns the same top/left window positions as does maximizing the window (no
visible borders)!
