No no it's totally fine. You just need to search stackexchange and find a few posts where people talk about how this is by design, then find some random utility that kinda does what you need but often has a ton of bloat and will nagware you to drop the $29 bucks so that you can have basic window manager functionality.
It really is wild to me. It's like nobody ever used two monitors or needed two apps side by side...

Spectacle [2] before that was free. There are several other choices for window snapping in OS X and have been since the earliest days. Personally I use Magnet [3], which was some trivial amount of money many years ago and comes from the App Store - thus has no "nagware" aspect. FWIW the built-in Windows snapping support is terrible - if you have a 49" widescreen display, you'll find it can't snap windows to thirds of the screen and you're back to (true) "bloat and nagware" of third party Windows utilities. > It's like nobody ever used two monitors or needed two apps side by side... Since ~2002 I've had setups that range between 2 and 6 monitors - mostly 3. I've used Windows, Linux, macOS and OpenSolaris in that timeframe, and have found macOS to be _by far_ the least hassle for getting whatever monitor configuration I have wanted.
