I don't use finder tabs much. I just use them to create a new tab, when I need to copy something inside a directory without losing my current "state".

I tend to use finder tabs very differently than the browser tabs where I can have many different websites, but later I tend to forget why I have those there.

I'm glad that MacOS can restore everything pretty well after a logout/login. A major focus of OS should be on managing these "work state" through new UI paradigms/tools. edit: typos

In what way?
