Fullscreen gives you more space than "maximizing" and macOS has always had better multi-desktop management than Windows. With the two/three-finger swipe gestures on trackpad/Magic Mouse, in combination with the Mission Control hotkeys/hot corners, it's very convenient to slide between multiple fullscreen windows.
For example I have one hot-corner set to show all desktops and another corner to show all windows for the current applications. I just throw my mouse into the corner then throw a window to its own desktop.
The split-view just makes it better, especially since you can resize two windows with just one action, unlike Windows' snapping.
However, depending on the physical size of my screen, I do prefer to have some of my nice wallpapers showing around a window at all times.

When half the people here don't know how to use the window management features of an os even though they've been using it for some time I wouldn't be so quick to call it better than the competition.
