It's not that you necessarily want them all in quick succession, it's that you might want to go directly from app A to the menu of app B.
Disassociating the controls from the application is bad. Forcing all the controls on top of each other is bad. The usability improvement in "making the target larger" by giving it infinite vertical space without increasing horizontal space is very much *not* enough to offset the usability decline.
