There's no point in saving vertical space if it results in lost features or
worse usability. Separate titlebars provide:
- A clear indication of which window is active and has keyboard focus.
- A guaranteed safe place you can click on to focus the window, or drag on to
move the window
- A text label indicating what app the window belongs to and the name of the
content it's displaying

Menubars can be integrated into a panel (macOS style) or merged with the
titlebar when when the window is maximized (Unity style) which is what I
believe this bug tracks. That's fine, and I believe various KDE developers are
working towards it. But getting rid of window titlebars or using headerbars in
the interest of saving 22 pixels would be a big step backwards in the usability
department.
