Yes, it is, see for example: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11645...-windows-15-46

Just because the PDF from the previous post is old, does not mean the feature is outdated, the PDF simply was released when the feature was first introduced.

No, you do not. In "Extend" mode, all monitors are being treated as separate monitors.

In "Collage" mode, all monitors are being treated as one big monitor.

Treating all monitors as one big monitor has several advantages, such as for example being able to maximize windows to fill up all monitors.

With "Extend", when you maximize a window, it will simply maximize on the separate monitor, not on all monitors.

Probably, but it is awkward, you have to click the border of the window and drag it across all monitors to maximize it. You can not simply maximize it to have it maximized across all connected monitors.

Would you please explain what I am missing?
Maybe creating one big 48 inch 2160p (4K) screen out of four 24 inch 1080p monitors.

Or creating one big 54 inch 2880p (5K) screen out of four 27 inch 1440p monitors.

Or creating one big 56 inch 4320p (8K) screen out of four 28 inch 2160p monitors.

Or how about creating one big 128 inch 8640p (16K) screen out of sixteen 32 inch 2160p monitors, see:
