Its only the maximize *button* thats removed. You can still maximize by double-clicking anywhere on the title bar or dragging the window against the top of the screen.

The problem is it doesn't look discoverable.

If you don't have a window bar at the bottom, you can discover the minimization button but getting the app back would be a problem.

It makes much more sense not to have a minimization button in that scenario, but then you have to make sure you're not taking workflow away from the user. If you are, then maybe you think about some other system.

Having a window bar at the bottom just to support minimization is a bit of a waste of screen real estate.
