Any screen space so saved is negligible and is not desired by many users 
of desktop machines. The price of large monitors is continually 
dropping.  I use a 27" 1920x1080 monitor.  I am contemptuous of the 
types of "screen saving" in Unity.  Perhaps lovers of Unity should 
always qualify their remarks to indicate either desktops or handheld 
devices.  What is appropriate for one is often not appropriate for another.

I understand your being offended.  I also am offended by people who 
adopt a religious attitude toward software such as Unity, as you do.  
You, and Unity developers, would do well to listen, with an open mind, 
to those preferring other desktops.  It would have been infinitely more 
preferable that such listening were done BEFORE the decision to make 
radical changes.
