Anecdata:
I don't want to tile all my windows, only terminals, so I'm not interested in tiling WM.
I also jump between OSs and appreciate being able to have the same terminal multiplexing behaviour on both linux and macOS, without needing to learn the keyboard shortcuts and idiosyncrasies of two different GUI terminal multiplexers.
As another commenter pointed out, being able to multiplex in the exact same way for remote sessions is a massive bonus.
Lastly, tmux has a lot of features and customization and once you learn those you really come to appreciate them. Tmux can also look really quite nice, it doesn't need to look as boring as it does out of the box: https://i.imgur.com/MgUx0U2.png.
