1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Accessibility. 2. Select Pointer Control in the sidebar. (In earlier versions of macOS, select Mouse & Trackpad.) 3. Click the Trackpad Options button. 4. Select ”Enable dragging,” then choose ”three finger drag” from the menu. 5. Click OK.
My mac users feel the exhaustion of micro managing windows but don't know what causes the drain until I show them a better way [1]. [1] https://rectangleapp.com/ (I add this to all the Macs I touch)

option-command-left-mouse: resize window from anywhere in window
Hasn't been updated in years but it still works on Monterey though it occasionally requires some kicking. I've looked for alternatives that are more up to date but can never find one that does the above - it's really all I want in a window manager as I don't like automated tiling and other features.
I use the kinda hidden three finger dragging gesture that you can activate like this: 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Accessibility. 2. Select Pointer Control in the sidebar. (In earlier versions of macOS, select Mouse & Trackpad.) 3. Click the Trackpad Options button. 4. Select ”Enable dragging,” then choose ”three finger drag” from the menu. 5. Click OK.

I suspect as of Big Sur that Apple were intending to release touchscreen Macs, but the changes to the OS in future versions makes me suspect that they then changed their mind.
I think Apple prepares for a lot of eventualities internally and only some things end up being released. Eg. they built macOS X on Intel years before they announced the switch. It's quite possible someone is working on making macOS touch-screen capable, even when they don't have concrete plans for releasing a touch screen Mac.

Lots of hints on touch enabled UI in Big Sur. But whatever it was, seems to have been delayed or suspended.
