The have some basic tiling with left/right sides of the screen, not full tiling. But it’s not like they lock the system down so much it can’t be done. There are several 3rd party utilities that can do this.
Apple tends to go for the stuff 80% of people will use. I don’t think the majority likes tiling window managers. I’ve always found them annoying. Even after Windows got the option, I don’t see anyone using it. Usually I see someone snap their window on accident, get the UI for selecting their other tiles, then getting frustrated, because they don’t want than, and then they try and make things go back to normal.
I wasn’t referencing tiling managers. I’m referring to simply dragging a window to the left/right side of the screen and snapping it to 50% of the screen. It’s actually painful to not have that feature. That’s extremely common. I’m not implying it needs to be an i3 clone.
If you’re just looking for a left/right split, macOS has had this for several years as part of their full screen mode. Hover over the green button and it shows full screen or tile left/right. You can also drag stuff around to do it in mission control.

Sounds like they should probably improve their terrible UX. People say they have good UX somehow?
