Rectangle [1] is free. 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.

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.
