There’s no way of globally enabling hidden files and folders, there’s a terminal command that does it for vanilla finder windows, but none for the finder file picker windows that apps use.
Unclear if it’s hardware or MacOS, but despite having the graphical horsepower to push enough pixels, Macs are limited to two external monitors unless you buy the multi thousand dollar Max processor.
It doesn’t support high quality Bluetooth audio codecs like AptX.
It doesn’t natively support Google cast or Miracast.
It doesn’t support sub pixel text rendering so text looks like trash on 1080p LCD monitors.

You can use command + shift + full stop to toggle hidden files and folders, if I recall correctly.

It’s the hardware. Each display needs to have a dedicated controller chip and video signal encoder, and Apple decided to be assholes and only add two of them.

Yeah, but thats a fundamental problem from a UX standpoint. If you’re a software developer who needs to work with those files and folders, you can easily run into issues where you don’t even realize that there are files there that are causing problems (or that you changing or deleting might cause problems with).
It’s a persistent toggle. You could just leave it on permanently, which is what I did when I had to use a Mac for work. If they ever made it reset on reboot or on a timer, I would be pretty fucking annoyed, however.

Not defending Crapple, but adding context:
