When you hold ALT while clicking the maximize button it should work. There used to be a setting for this when they introduced it.

alt click doesn’t work. Try it. It does not work. Maybe occasionally it does, but mostly it just enlarges the screen a bit, in a random manner.

Yes the enlarge is a thing which unnerves me as well because some apps insist on keeping a specific aspect ratio and so on. I still use Better touch tool which has support for screen zone snapping. And I have a custom key binding to maximize windows setup via better touch tool.

Or simply the third button on the top left of nearly every window?

No, that hides the menu bar.

You can stop it hiding the menu bar in full screen. System Preferences -> Dock and Menu Bar -> Automatically Hide and Show Menu Bar in Full Screen (at the bottom of the window).
