I'm not really into wm, but I'd say, when the app is closing, they remember a size. When they are restarted, they request this size to the wm. Fullscreen apps are requesting a size bigger than the screen, and the wm understand it needs to maximize them. What size the app is requesting seems to be the apps responsibility.
