Just guessing, but from my software engineering experience of days gone by, it could have something to do with the UI libraries Avid uses for cross platform development.

That said, I don't find the single window concept anything more than a minor irritation. It's trivial to stretch the main window across both monitors and set up the windows however I like across both. However, I very much like the docked window capabilities of most other apps, and I also like the tab capabilities.

On giant monitors it's not a big deal, but at modest resolutions the multiple title bars eat up an incredible amount of space. And it's kludgy feeling!!! It looks like something from the 1990's honestly.
