Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem
The only solution I've found for addressing this in any meaningful way is AltSnap[0], which lets me avoid needing to find window borders for any resizing or moving operations.

Can't use ALT+right mouse button in Remmina to resize windows
I run Sway and use Remmina to remote to my Windows 10 machine at work. On my Windows 10 PC I have AltSnap installed so I can use ALT+left mouse to move the windows and ALT+right mouse to resize them.

How to make windows' borders 'magnetic' such they snap to each other?
Pretty much only possible with 3rd party tools. https://windhawk.net/mods/slick-window-arrangement https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

I cant believe Microsoft hasn't improved these fundamental features over the last 5 years! Search/explorer still the same! (or worse)
For resizing you can try AltSnap (available through Scoop as well) - it mimics what's available by default in Gnome and some other DEs on GNU/Linux and it's pretty useful once you get used to it - you basically hold down a key while left/right clicking the mouse to move/resize a window that you point over (and all the precision you need is to point at one of the four quarters of the window).

- Help. I’m using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown.
- do any tiling extensions work on Gnome 44?

Resizing two tiled windows leaks memory and is laggy.
Disable GNOME's tiling code, by installing https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant instead.

Gnome has no thumbnails in the file picker (and my toilets are blocked)
This comment might come off a little off-topic but I think it's pretty related.
The Gnome Project has always struck me of having this Apple-Like attitude of "We know Best", and subsequently ignoring/shrugging off user concerns/issues/etc.
It's pretty obvious that Gnome is at the very least "inspired" by macOS. Heck Apple started version bumping by whole numbers at right about the same time Gnome switched from 3.x to 4x.
I use it on my Touchscreen Convertible Laptop, since it supports multi-touch gestures (on the touchpad too), and as long as I install extensions to bend Gnome to my will, it seems to work pretty darn well for me. (For example, adding window tiling with the https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant extension).
Perhaps there is a better way that I should switch too, but currently I remain ignorant.

Window tiling to quads?
Ahh. Okay you need to install it from GitHub instead of the GNOME website then. The author fixed the multi-monitor tiling bug (discussion) but it's only available via GitHub at the moment:
