While not point and click you can resize console windows (and the window
buffer) without problems. And it's even remembered *per shortcut*!

While not selectable upon start (I think) it can easily be changed with a
command.

Supported since at least XP

If you use the PowerShell window that experience is already vastly
improved. Could be that this is the case for the default console window in
Windows 10 as well.

No one stops you from running a different shell in a command window (e.g. I
often switch to cmd inside PowerShell when some program give me trouble
with the latter).

Already supported since at least Windows 7 (can't currently check older
versions).

Because it does its job and its part of the OS without the need to install
some 3rd party application.
