It has absolutely nothing to do with "Mac".
It's one of the limitations that Apple have decided to put into the
free version of QuickTime. If you pay to upgrade it to the Pro version
you get full-screen playback (among a few other things). This is no
different to many other companies that have a limited "free" version
and a pay-for "pro" version.
There is of course other player software that will play the movies
full-screen.
