> Why did anyone think it was a good idea to put tabs in the title bar.

Because we decided it was a good idea to keep making monitors wider and wider and wider without making them any taller, and not everyone wants vertical tabs.

You can pry my 16:10 monitor from my cold dead fingers. Give me a 3:2 and you'll never get it back.

Why do you have 100 tabs open in the same window, anyways? Use tab groups and profiles, with a secondary window for session-tabs that'll get closed soon. Having too many tabs is like having too many desktop icons, but worse.
