Maximizing sites that take 1024 px out of 1920 or even 2560 px doesn’t really make any sense.

macOS' windows not closing when you close them

Windows’ apps closing when you close their windows is no less absurd. The same for forcing you to either save or discard documents on quit/reboot.

I don't want to have any non-maximized windows on my screen. I despise overlapping windows, and I want every single application I run to be full-screen, just like on a phone.

If that’s your preference, just do it. My comment wasn’t not about you or me, it was about what you get if you choose macos, how it works, and the reasoning behind that. This “I want how I want” sounds like a christian complaint in a mosque.

So run them in full-screen mode. No one is stopping you.

I hardly ever run into a program on macOS that doesn't support full-screen. View → Enter Full Screen, or Control+Option+F.

Use another OS then, macOS is not for you.

With macOS’s setup, I can command-tab to any open app (e.g. preview), hit the up arrow and then use the arrow keys to quickly open a recent document. Without the app model macOS uses, this is a lot less convenient, and I miss it every time I use my KDE Plasma Desktop.

If you use the cascading Application Menu widget, Win -- Arrow Down -- Arrow Right gets you to the recent files menu.
