If you minimize and then restore a window, it saves that position on the screen. There are some programs that will misbehave no matter what but after that, you can close and reopen the program and it should open in the same screen, with the same size and position.

Is this a mac-ism? A standard behavior? An expectation? Something a program would do automatically?

As for the behavior I agree - so long as the screen index exists and so on. But should a program remember more than that. Like "Last time there were two screens, we were moved to screen B and exited there, so we should now start there" even though it has been run on a single screenA since. That's the typical office user with laptop + external screen.

It is standard behavior on Windows. The issues you run into come with plugging and unplugging screens. If you leave them plugged in they work like that. I know it's not helpful for laptops that get moved around.
