But you can have workspaces/maximized windows without having the restriction of preventing moving windows to another monitor/workspace that has a maximized window. I use workspaces on my linux laptops all the time - this 'feature' has existed for ~20 years, and is not hard to implement. The difference being that macos seems to force the restriction of having only 1 window per workspace and not being able to drag a window from one workspace to another. If that's the behaviour you want (one window per workspace), you can easily operate in this way without having the forced restriction.

You can have multiple monitors and multiple workspaces with multiple windows that can be freely moved between monitors and spaces. The only restriction is that when you make a window full screen (not the same as maximizing), it becomes its own new single-occupancy space. You seem to think that making a window fullscreen is the only way to make a new space, but it's just a special case of a larger system that already has the functionality you're asking for.
