This is not true for many X window managers.  It will take the user or program size, specified at startup, and demaximize to that.  Emacs sets the program size to the size in the frame parameters when creating a frame.

So when I do:

(make-frame '((fullscreen . maximized)))

and de-maximize it, it comes out as a frame with geometry 80x32.  Of course, the position is whatever the WM chooses.  This is not a formal protocol of how window managers should behave, but many do it like this.
