It's Console Host or Conhost in short.

I assume by "Microsoft" and "their issue" you mean the issue in Conhost.
If so, then yeah, it's not gonna get fixed. There are compatibility
reasons for that (which I don't care about), but to circumvent this the
team decided to overhaul Conhost and replace it with the new Terminal.
It'll be the default in the next . . . I donno, year perhaps? Decade?
And just to clarify, resizing MS Terminal window after launching Vim
doesn't cause any problem. MS Terminal should behave like a Linux
terminal emulator. It advertizes itself as supporting all xterm
features. Well, perhaps not all, but most of the oft-used ones.

Before MS Terminal, Wezterm was the best choice. Before that, Cmder and
ConEmu. And the problem with Mintty is that it's not independent. The
reason it behaves so like a Linux terminal is because it's built with
Cygwin or Cygwin-like shells (MSys, git-bash, etc.) in mind. You can't
run Command Prompt or PowerShell on it. You can't even run Win32
version of Vim on it. You'll need a Vim built with Cygwin. That's an
extra hassle in my opinion.
