No. It is not only missing a feature. It is simply a very bad UI decision to make a hitbox to some user action only one pixel wide!
And using ONLY the mouse is the common way on a desktop for common folks where surprisingly many still don't even know strg + c

If you watch the gif in plasma basically you hold down the alt key and right click and drag to resize from anywhere on the window. Likewise you hold down the alt and left click and drag anywhere on the window to move it around.
Further there are hotkeys to place the window on a segment of the screen example: the left/right/top/bottom half or one of the corners. I think there is a function for sizing it to thirds as well. For me this virtually replaced any manual resizing even before I swapped to using a tiling wm where there is zero resizing.
I just tested this on cinnamon and this works there too. I don't know if it works in mate.
