The buttons are not there because just connecting a mouse does not switch it to windowed mode on a phone. You can force it with:

$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode Windowed

We're working on some UI for that as well.

While minimize and maximize make no sense in the phone UI, a close button could potentially be added (maybe visible on hover). We likely need it in the right-edge switcher, similar to the windowed one, as swiping apps away with a mouse is awkward.

That said, mouse connected to a phone is not our priority, as it's an esoteric enough use case.
