  There is built in window tiling in MacOS, it's just not very good. There's also competent third party applications that can tile windows for you that aren't baked into the operating system. Window tiling on fully DEs on linux are not very good. Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinammon don't have very good window tiling, either. They're very basic and tend to mimic Windows. The automatic tiling WMs lack even very basic functionality, like a login manager, a status bar, a clock, or volume controls, so I don't see how that's acceptable when compared to MacOS.

  > MacOS is designed for the point and click majority. You can see this in the lack of any functionality for such a simple task as window tiling. It also has more complete and consistent keyboard shortcuts than most of the alternatives since that’s been part of the HIG for decades. Similarly, I do most of my window management using the keyboard so I’m skeptical that you’ve done enough research to speak so authoritatively, or considered that possibly power users might have more than a relatively minor feature factoring in to such a big decision.
