In OSX, Dock when visible, reserves space that other windows can't use. How's that done?
In my use case,
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays , then click Display Settings. Select your display in the sidebar, then do one of the following, depending on your display: Click the Scaled pop-up menu, then choose a scaled resolution for the display.
When the cursor icon changes to a diagonal bi-directional arrow, press and hold the Option key and double click. This would zoom the window to occupy the entire screen without it entering into full-screen mode.
If you have a trackpad, swipe upwards with four fingers. This gets you the Mac's Expose feature where windows from every open application are shown to you in thumbnails. However, at the very top of the screen lies the Spaces feature. You can also get to this by holding the Control key and tapping the up arrow.
The Multiple Desktop feature on macOS allows users to have different applications open throughout multiple desktops. This allows users to not have all applications open in a single desktop, but able to organize them between desktops.
You can write an apple script, which continuously monitors which application is started and resizes it to the desired size on launch. Small example to do so is given in following script:
