I think they want a vertical bar versus horizontal, I prefer this setup for laptops too, e.g. I have the dock on macOS on the left and Ubuntu/Gnome it is the default. It makes a huge difference when vertical screen estate is at a premium, as is the case with many laptops.

I would too but mac does it in a pretty annoying way compared to say ubuntu unity.

With multiple monitors, it snaps to the side most one you have plugged in regardless of your primary screen.

I get there's a lot of dragging and dropping involved with the bar, but in Unity it let you set a threshold for mouse speed to limit you going to another monitor.

Just let me put it on the side and do that if I'm dragging something, it's not too difficult.
