I very well might be in the minority of Linux users, but I don't particularly care about the answers to most of these questions. I just want it to work. Give me solid defaults[0]. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to override those defaults. That's an important feature of Linux. My first experience running a cool-looking TUI file manager yesterday (I actually ended up trying yazi first) was that I got a lot of blank squares in place of missing icons and emojis due to missing fonts. I had to spend 20 minutes figuring that out before I got a good experience. Interestingly, I also tried wezterm[1] in the process. It actually ships with the required fonts as fallback, but the version from my distro's package manager didn't work, while the AppImage did. I'm guessing my distro removed them, maybe for some of the reasons you cited. I started installing the nerd-fonts group for my distro. 6.5GB... No thanks. After manually poking through them and some googling I finally installed a couple and it's working now. My overall point is that it's possible for app developers to provide good defaults like wezterm does. It's also possible for distro's to break those defaults.

I personally use broot[1] to achieve something similar. I’ve you open two panes, you can copy or move items between them. I also sometimes use it as a pseudo IDE. [1]: https://dystroy.org/broot.
