>without that delay when you release the dragged element.

Without the delay the system won’t be able to decide if you’ve really finished dragging or just run out of trackpad space but want to continue dragging.



That´s the mac way, right. They decide I have to use my computer a certain way, even if all my other computers work differently, and there´s no way to get the same behavior as on every other Laptop I have (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS). I'd rather be "running out of trackpad space", which is not an issue on those giant Macbook track pads, instead of having to wait for the drag to settle after each drag - or worse, constantly mis-dragging because the behavior, the feel of dragging, is different on MacOS than elsewhere.


Maybe you should try using the 3-finger drag option (Accessibility → Pointer Control → Trackpad Options). I'm using that and it doesn't suffer from this delay issue, because when the number of fingers on the trackpad changes the system knows that the drag gesture was finished.
