I'd imagine this as far as things like docks are concerned? But the idea that I have to write specific windowing rules just to use my computer suggests this has a long way to go. It should 'just work' out of the box.

Just work doesn't mean it just works as you personally desire. It means just works in a consistent predictable fashion that is suitable for use not desirable for your taste or matching behavior on windows.
Personally I expect windows to show up on the same monitor as the currently focused window or the cursor and having it pop to a primary monitor would be from my perspective a defect. I would have to test but I think that outside of gnome this is actually how the majority of linux environments work out of the box.
You don't have set a windows rule in the settings gui just to use your computer. You have to set a windows rule in the settings gui for your computer to work in the fashion that you prefer. That you regard this setting as essential doesn't mean that it actually is just that you strongly prefer it.
