Seems like you assume everyone likes window snapping because you do. It’s one of the most annoying aspects of using Windows for me.

Huh? What's annoying about something completely optional? If you don't like window snapping, just.... don't?
Apple people are always like this. They always find justifications for their company. If you ask an Apple guy why does the mouse have the charge port on the bottom, making it unusable when charging, he'll say Tim Apple has perfectly engineered the mouse to optimize for the right amount of time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
I hate the Window's half-window snapping, because I don't want tiled windows, but in order to have the window at the edge or top of the screen (which doesn't seem like a huge ask) I have to get it just close enough so it doesn't resize on me, and about half the time I go to far and have to start over. I don't have or want a really wide monitor, so Visual Studio being half the width of my monitor is not a useful size, because it is too narrow.
Win+I, System -> Multitasking

Expand "Snap windows" (down arrow on right side)

Turn off "When I drag a window, let me snap it without dragging it all the way to the screen edge" if you're finding it to be too sensitive.

Huh? I didn’t say I used it. Being optional doesn’t change the thing that it is annoying. It is annoying which is precisely why I just….don’t.
Huh? I didn’t say I used it. Something optional can still be annoying. That’s I just…don’t.
Seems like it would be good to have as an option though, some people clearly appreciate it and some don't.
