`org-capture` does not take up the full frame for me by default; I just
tried that in an emacs -Q session.

Look into `display-buffer-alist` (emacs inbuilt variable) or packages like
shackle or popwin for fine control on how you want to create windows when
opening buffers.

I do not use shackle for customizing the opening of capture buffers (as it
splits windows for me by default) but I do use it to do similar thing for
other kinds of buffers.
