Is it possible Apple made some changes to make development software to allow this kind of behavior? Their only drawback is not being able to move windows from one desktop to another.

No, either they've figured out some trick we haven't, or they're using a private API. Either way, Apple hasn't changed the rules.

I would like to use Moom to save all the windows across all the desktops - 
currently I have 5 desktops, each with 3-4 windows. I am using Catalina on 
a Macbook Pro, and switch between a Home setup, with a 4k monitor, and the 
Laptop setup with the actual laptop screen. I have been trying Moom, but so 
far if I save a snapshot it seems to save only the position and size for 
windows on the active desktop. Is it possible to save across all desktops?
