Great post! For those of you with new enough versions of Windows 10 to be able to use Windows Terminal, a tool like tmux is not needed to get tabbed terminals. Alas, the console framework isn't (yet) up to the task of simulating what tmux does... also, if you just want tabbed terminals, Terminal.app supports this since "generic" tabs were added in macOS 10.9 "Mavericks", IIRC. As for Linux, it very much depends on what the distribution offers, as is always the case - some support this, like Gnome Terminal. One thing is clear, though - ANY Unix-like terminal with tmux is a better multi-tasking tool.
