I noticed this a while back too, and got annoyed enough to research it.
Apparently that behavior is called "Client Side Decorations", or CSD,
and gnome and/or GTK apps have been switching to it recently.
Personally, I don't like it at all--it breaks the functionality of a
window manager. Even if the application can handle some basic window
management on its own, most window managers out there can do much more
than that, and I choose a window manager that offers the best set of
features for me. In my case, specifically, I use window shading heavily.
I can't do that with evince anymore.
Now I'm trying out qpdfview, which so far seems better than evince anyway.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping this CSD fad goes away...
