`org-capture` does not take up the full frame for me by default; I just tried that in an emacs -Q session.
Look into `display-buffer-alist` (emacs inbuilt variable) or packages like shackle or popwin for fine control on how you want to create windows when opening buffers. I do not use shackle for customizing the opening of capture buffers (as it splits windows for me by default) but I do use it to do similar thing for other kinds of buffers.
