Like other people commenting, this sort of thing is part of what keeps me in the Apple ecosystem. I dislike so much, but really, really love a few things.
Logitech trackball is not so accurate, but dragging and fast movement is miles better.
resizing: I guess I'm not sure of the use case. In something like Maps, you just do the shrink/grow gesture multiple times. In photo apps I use a selection box, scale the window down and drag the corners are precise as I need. Maybe it's something I don't often do.
selecting: click and hold with my thumb, scroll down with index and middle finger or move cursor with my pointer. Or I click, scroll, then shift-click to select what I need.
drag and drop: click and hold with my thumb, drag the item by moving my index finger. You can left and drop your index finger as needed. Release thumb to drop.
I have it set "without drag lock". This way, a tap+hold allows you to drag without pressing on the trackpad, and there's a (very short) period where you can lift your finger, and keep dragging it from the centre or the opposite corner without losing the drag "lock".
