Is it about restoring window position and size?

Yes

Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don't see what the use case is.

That's up to the application.

I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP's multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.

I see, I thought is was meant for restoring programs after login. Thx, for the clarification.
