Pretty interesting use case. This could turn traditional desktops into supporting some form of tiling window management I guess?
I dont see why, tbh. This feature is only needed by users of tiling WMs with (super)ultrawide monitors. A niche in a niche. Normal floating WMs work fine with ultrawide monitors, you are constantly resizing and moving windows around anyway and simple snapping takes care of the rest. Windows 11 even lets you snap exactly into the setup described above.
Also, there are good plugins for supporting tiling for GNOME (I know its in PopOS, not sure how to get it into the normal one) , KDE, and even Windows
