I was salty when I wrote my original comment and completely agree. There is tons of real work that only requires focusing on a single window at a time. My problem with MacOS is just that it doesn't accomodate workflows that require multiple windows / monitors very well.

Oh my God yes. I used a MacBook for work and it was a two-step nightmare to get it to connect to multiple monitors.

First, I had to plug multiple type-C cables in, one for each monitor, since Mac can't output multiple displays through a dock. And getting it to actually show on all monitors was a finicky process at best.

And then, every time I'd take it off the desk and put it back, all my windows and workspaces would be all jumbled up, on the wrong monitors, etc.

I needed to install Rectangle just so I could have a keyboard shortcut to snap a window back onto the screen, since sometimes they'd be inaccessible off the end of the screen.

Mac support for multiple monitors is not a smooth experience, to say the least.
