I don't want to have any non-maximized windows on my screen. I despise overlapping windows, and I want every single application I run to be full-screen, just like on a phone.

If that’s your preference, just do it. My comment wasn’t not about you or me, it was about what you get if you choose macos, how it works, and the reasoning behind that. This “I want how I want” sounds like a christian complaint in a mosque.

So run them in full-screen mode. No one is stopping you.

I hardly ever run into a program on macOS that doesn't support full-screen. View → Enter Full Screen, or Control+Option+F.

Use another OS then, macOS is not for you.
