Isn't a window with a small title bar a palette window? I thought a

Yeah. The difference is functional, not visual (confusingly enough) —
an NSPanel doesn't become the "main" window, even when it's in front.
The NSWindow behind it remains main. This dates from the NeXTSTEP UI.
The idea is that you can have a non-floating non-modal helper window
in front, but the document window behind it still responds to menu
commands like Save or Revert.
