I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
The Apple way of doing that is application-specific, so what they tell you there is false. Some apps let you maximise, some don't. Some native windows allow it, some don't. It's completely inconsistent, so I'd definitely recommend using something like Spectacle instead.

A little reminder, You cannot maximise a window with Spectacle, which has been minimized with minimize button or CMD + M
I don't think I ever minimise anything on MacOS, I just cover the windows up with something else.
