Browser tabs are the wrong metaphor when used with only 1 window. If you keep unrelated tabs in different windows it makes way more sense and the number of tabs stays relatively low.

An obvious use case is to have a window for your work and another one for your personal stuff. You can also open a new window when you start googling stuff about a specific topic (let’s stay “how to do x in Python”). Then, when you got your answer, you just have to close the window with all its tabs.
