Idk. I don’t resize windows with the mouse at all. I use the key bindings to move to a tile position or fill screen.

I almost always never use a mouse for more than maybe moving a tab to another window.

So I am wondering, are people fighting using a Mac in the most effective way simply because of old patterns and habits?

Maybe you don't use the mouse because it just doesn't work as expected? ;)

"Most effective" doesn't mean "most intuitive". I don't want to learn keyboard shortcuts just to move or resize a window. That's the entire premise of graphical user interfaces.

What if your needs aren't as simple and you want to increase the size just a bit to fit more text than the tile permits and you don't want to waste the whole screen for that?
