By the way, I found this extension called Fly-Pie that really reminds me of android. This youtuber happened to talk about how gnome extensions tend to break. From my minimal search today and yesterday, I did see a lot of them are unsupported. Do you agree with what the youtuber said?

Disable GNOME's tiling code, by installing https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant instead.

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:
