Yeah, that's because it's not a maximise button. It's the button that adjusts the window size to the content size.
At least, that's what it used to be. They changed the default behavior to 'fullscreen' because all the people coming from Windows thought that's what the button should do...
"It's the button that adjusts the window size to the content size."
Which is just so, so wrong. Imagine how much mouse-mouse-mousing around (and time wasted) that kind of organization produces.
Things I wish Steve Jobs had said:
"If you're using the mouse, you're doing it wrong"

Does OSX even have keyboard controls for window management, like win+arrows? I think I have a 3rd party thing doing that, which seems like it shouldn't be necessary.
Yes, it does. Pretty much the entire OS can be controlled by keyboard. You may have to turn on Assistive Services to make it work in all contexts, but it's definitely there.
OSX users can't even handle having buttons on their mice. Imagine the confusion if they had a whole keyboard!
(I have to use a Mac for work. I'd kill for a touch pad with physical buttons, or even better, the Lenovo clitmouse.)
All you need to know about Apple UI is this:
Sometimes you click the green (maximize) button and the window gets smaller.
