When you go into the trackpad settings there are little videos showing what each gesture does. App Exposé is right there. I don’t know how more discoverable it can be.

You don’t even have to use the green zoom button. Just double click the top of the window like in every other OS. The difference is that zooming a window is not the same as maximising. It makes the window as big as the content it contains. Also you can double click the edge of any window to extend it to the edge of the screen. I really don’t get the obsession for tiling windows personally. It’s not part of my workflo…
Apple calls the green button “zoom” in their documentation, but its default function is fullscreen, not zoom. I've always found that a bit disorienting. I guess Apple just decided that "zoom" is better as a name because it's one short word instead of two.
In Monterey they made it easier to use multiple audio outputs. The new UI removes scrolling over the speaker icon to change volume.
After updating to Monterey some of my keyboards don't have a command key. They worked until I updated. Now I get weird issues. But only on the non-US-ansi layouts (I'm Swedish).
Similar things:
Firefox on android started opening things from the most visited list in new tabs. I press the address bar and press one of my 8 most visited sites (which account for 95% of my sites) and they open in a new tab. This changed from one version to another, and now I regularly have 40 tabs, some I want to keep.
Google decided that the volume up button on 3.5mm headphones should start the assistant. So suddenly none of my headphones work as they should.
I notice things like this all the time. Especially the last one kills me. Who, who?!!, thought this was a good idea. Every update on os X and my smartphone brings something that makes me feel like I am fed a turd. I don't use Windows, but I suspect it is the same thing there.

FFM is completely possible on macOS (unless you mean something completely different). I use yabai for it: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai
Yabai requires tiling windows, doesn’t it? This is far easier than general focus-follows-mouse support.
yabai -m config layout float
yabai -m config focus_follows_mouse autofocus

I read this comment and realized I don’t even remember the last time I powered down my Mac! You’re right that it’s not something I do very often. Is that not the case with Windows and Linux nowadays? What’s the point in powering down?
Software updates is one reason For simpler userspace updates a restart of the relevant processes is easy enough, but it can be a bit more difficult when it comes to kernel updates. (Updating a running kernel has been a thing in Linux for a number of years, but my systems don't do it.)
Even when you power down or restart a Mac it remembers all the applications you had running and all the application windows and it re-opens everything so you come back to everything just the way you left it.

it's not broken... the problem is that, for my fingertip, the haptic feedback is not enough. I want "physical" feedback.
The haptic feedback on my M1 Air is indistinguishable from the physical click of my 2013 Pro's springboard-design trackpad. Are you maybe comparing it to some low-quality trackpad that has a lot of flex?
I can use and I feel "some kind of a" click on this macbook trackpad, but it's just awful to use.
