On Linux you hold the super/windows key and click/drag anywhere on the window to move it, or right-click/drag anywhere on the window to resize it. It's much easier than using thick borders. Discoverability is admittedly not great, but this feature easily coexists with window borders. Microsoft could keep the thick borders by default and also implement this.
“Don’t do it the way everyone else does it or the way you’ve always done it; our designer decided to make that hard for <inscrutable reasons not related to delighting existing users> and instead we offer this hard-to-discover non-idiomatic workaround.
“You will grow to love the workaround because it doesn’t hurt nearly as much, kind of like stopping after you’ve been hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.”
The default white title bars that blend seamlessly into any white content behind them is a perfect example of this and so many people don't even realize they can change it.
Windows usability has declined since Windows 7 which had a lot of things that seemed like the designers were trying to improve their own lives while using the software. My favorite was the thick borders that were easy to grab for resizing, etc., even on high DPI displays. Compare it to Linux UIs where you often have to grab a single pixel border on a 4k monitor to resize a window.
Thankfully Win 10 still has large targets for grabbing window edges even though the border is only 1px.
