Based on seeing how most longtime Windows users use Windows. I rarely see tiling used, it’s almost always maximizing. Even on gigantic monitors and web pages with an 800px central column, they maximize.
The Windows users I encounter IRL tend to not be particularly technical though so that may bias things.
I personally get some usage out of tiling but as mentioned in another comment the tiling proposal triggers in W11 are over sensitive and kind of annoying.

I think that’s generally what you want because having other windows visible would not only take space away from the application you’re using but also be distracting
