OP here. This is exactly why I want snapping (I'm using a 27" 1440p monitor)

There are Mac applications you can download to get this behaviour. Magnet does it and is cheap, and Raycast (spotlight alternative) does it and is free.

From the article:

> this is a work machine and I need to get everything I install blessed by IT security. Easy for large applications like Slack or Chrome, but harder for the small tools that only fix my niche issues (I’ve already found Rectangle, BetterSnapTool, and Magnet).

I’m using a 40” 4k monitor for Win10, and never found snapping to be attractive, although I routinely have about 20 active windows.
