Mostly yes, it's for convenience because there's quite a bit of math going on which you're unlikely to replicate in a minute. But there's a small no, it's not just about convenience: if you don't set the size of the stage, then you won't know its actual size until it is shown. But by the time it's shown, it is too late to adjust its position (you might get a short flicker because the window is repositioned right after it is shown). The implementation here adjusts the position right before the window is shown, that's something that user code can't do (look for Window::fixBounds).
