If they Unity designers said "The launcher is only for launching" -- I
might disagree, but I'd understand.  It would be viewed like the list of
"apps" in Android or iOS.

But when you say the launcher is "for launching and spreading
applications" -- and then it supports quicklists..then the message is
"The launcher is for launching and controlling application windows."

So then allow us to minimize a window from the launcher when there is
only one application window open.   Especially since "spread" does not
do anything when there is one window open....at which point clicking the
button does nothing...which is counter-intuitive.

Here's me training my wife on this about 4 months ago:

me:   Here is a button.   It's always right there.
my wife:    Great!

me:  It is always enabled. 
my wife:   Thats easy.

me:   When you click on it, something useful happens....  
my wife:  I get it!

me: Unless the application associated with the button is currently running and 
has one and only one window open on the current workspace -- in which case 
clicking on the enabled button will do nothing and provide you with no feedback 
whatsoever so that you think your computer might by locked up or your mouse 
button broke...but its not...everything is just fine...just don't do that.
my wife:  you computer guys suck...
