I check the screenshots and there is something that got my attention, no Minimize button

How do gnome users minimize their windows?

Or is that the mobile file manager app? i guess it is since their focus seems to be mobile platforms?

Looks like moving forward Gnome will be a desktop environment mainly for mobiles?

There isn't a minimizing button since the idea is that basic apps are generally meant to be ephemeral; that a task should be a quick one-and-done (or so I was told when I asked on IRC years ago). You can add the button back and even put it on the left side of the window via the GNOME Tweaks tool. If you want to hide a window, slide it into another workspace. It felt weird at first but it makes more sense as I continued to use GNOME. I call it the "control panel workspace". At least you can multitask with workspaces easier than you could on Windows.

Can't speak for mobiles. The desktop though is surprisingly more keyboard-friendly than it appears. It may have flaws, but GNOME feels like a better desktop than anything else I've tried.

I think "hiding the window" (Super+H) replaces minimize on GNOME (applications that do have a minimize button seem to act like hidden windows).

It isn't used often, since GNOME has no bottom bar, remember? But if you hide windows, they disappear, but are still viewable in the window overview (Super key), where you can select them or drag them around.

Although my theme has a minimize button, I think didn't use for more than a decade. If you need space go to a new desktop. And organize your files in you home directory sub-folders, if you need temporary space, use /tmp which will delete it on the next boot (beware of privacy issues if other people are also using your computer).

Since I got used to multiple desktops, I really don't see much value on the minimize button. I makes harder to use the app. If I want to alternate to another app, I just click it or alt-tab to it; minimizing it makes it harder to alternate to.
