Why would it need to be easier? It works great has high performance? It just happens to be a gnome extension rather than a general linux app, is that what you mean, like use it outside gnome?

popout sticky note in the panel was hella useful tho, have tasks instead for gnome but its not the same

By itself sure but why would you be in a situation where you cant use extensions, dashtopanel, arcmenu, window thumbnails (pip) make gnome solid, finally commited to one de for now, theyd need to add window thumbnails at least for me to swap back

pip is an easily resizable overlay, sure you can set window always to front but then you can accidentally click it , like easily drag it around the screen away from whatever I need to see and use to an area thats currently unused, quick resize if I need to see it bigger, its just convenient. Using windows is a hassle compared to it, just open youtube with any browser, click the top tiny square button in the video for pip and youll see what im talking about.

Typically I use it to watch stremio, it isnt as resizable by itself and its annoying to have my keyboard controls switch to a different app, this avoids that. Also if installing something you can have a tiny little window anywhere on your screen over your stuff showing progress.
