macOS has had built-in “window snapping” since 2015. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948

And if/when you need more advanced window management, there’s a plethora of free and paid options.

That is not remotely as powerful as actual window snapping and feels more like what a tablet OS would need rather than a desktop OS.

I assume because that type of advanced window management is a poor default for a mainstream audience.

Happily, there are great options for this. My preference right now is Raycast's Window Management extension. https://www.raycast.com/extensions/window-management

I agree to a certain extent, but I see people regularly using the 4 corner window snapping in Windows. Especially as 1440p and 4k monitors gain adoption.

Fair enough, although I can hear the future complaints about Apple "Sherlocking" Magnet already. :^)

Windows has supported window snapping for years. It has been the mainstream default for years
