b) Almost every app bar a few older ones can be made full screen. Unless I am confused there will be no black bar at the bottom. I definitely can't see it.
c) You can do basic side/side tiling if your apps are full screen. Most people aren't clamoring for advanced window management and there are dozens of tools available that aren't hacks by any measure.
I find myself wondering daily, how the hell have Apple dropped the ball so badly, and how on earth have they not been steamrolled by Microsoft.

Because there's legions of gullible suckers who'll line up to buy the latest iDevice and then believe everything Apple tells them, whether it's "you're holding it wrong" or "you don't need to copy music files to your phone, just buy them again on iTunes" or "you don't need a headphone jack, just buy a new pair of Bluetooth headphones from Beats for $$$".
It's getting harder and harder to answer the questions they ask.
I know what I'd tell them: "Easy, transfer your old photos onto your computer to free up some space." Now if they ask how to do that, I'll tell them "I don't know, I don't use Apple devices. Try asking Siri." Unless maybe it's some hot girl I'm trying to bed, then I'll work a little harder, but I'll still try to convince her to dump Apple and switch to Android so I don't have to deal with this stuff in the future.
Do you know how I transferred my photos to the capsule last time?
I had to:
1) Connect iPhone to Macbook (via USB cable, not wifi)
2) Run shitty Photos app
3) Copy all pictures to the capsule...well, NO! Select 50% of pictures (because I don't have enough space on Macbook), press Import all selected pictures (don't forget to check Delete after import!)
4) Wait, wait, wait
5) Then drag all imported pictures to the capsule
6) Wait, wait, wait
7) Then Google where Photos stores all photos
8) Delete them
9) Repeat for the rest pictures
It is even more difficult if you want to transfer YOUR music from iPod to the capsule. I had to make a backup, then google backup location, then copy everything manually (bad thing is that all files have cryptic names).
Apple loves to say that all their devices are integrated with each other. What I want is, for example, to press 'Transfer all pictures/music/whatever to Time Capsule' and just wait until it is done (via WiFi).
It's not an Apple product, but "Plex" can transfer your photos to your own harddrive/library if you buy the pro version. You can for example run the Plex server on your Mac or on a Raspberry Pie, and then let Plex synchronize your photos to your Capsule over wifi or 3G.
Edit: it also allows to delete them directly after import
For example, I have a 2TB AirPort Time Capsule, but it looks impossible to backup my iPod or MacBook directly to it (which is nonsense, why do I need 2TB then?). So I have to create backups with iTunes, then go to `~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/` and copy everything manually to the capsule.
Searching for a song in iTunes is always confusing. Why don't they have global search field that searches in both Library and connected device?
Photos app is another nightmare (and photos management overall)! Again, I just want to connect my iPhone or my camera and transfer photos to AirPort Time Capsule. Impossible.
Or in macOS, you can't just make some apps fullscreen: they always have that 5px gap between app window and dock bar (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/141800/gap-at-the-b...).
Or the fact they don't have proper window management and themes. One have to use third-party apps full of hacks to have, say, dark window theme or some parody of tiling WM.
