Heh, i feel like maybe hardware constraints also play a role here. For example, right now i have 4 1080p monitors connected to my computer. I've never really needed anything more than the ability to snap windows to either side of the monitors (or bottom/top for vertical ones) or make them full screen. With a higher resolution monitor (or an ultra widescreen one) i suspect that it would rapidly change and i'd need to look into either more advanced snapping setups (e.g. AquaSnap or PowerToys FancyZones on Windows, or the Linux equivalent, though even XFCE is pretty flexible out of the box there). That said, on a laptop i probably wouldn't even try doing that and in many cases the software where i would actually want some sort of tiling already has it baked in - SSH clients like MobaXTerm (though Remmina is also nice on *nix) or all of JetBrains products. Tiling OS windows with smaller sizes feels rather inefficient, because many OSes out there waste space immensely with menus and other always visible items. But hey, i'd argue that my current setup only has manageable cognitive load because i use overlapping windows managers as "optionally tileable" and due to the amount of monitors have a maximum of 8 open windows without any overlapping. Someone might achieve the same with a single (albeit larger) monitor and a proper tiling manager.
