Templates and Patterns make me feel stupid

What is the WP's philosophy with patterns and page templates. Everything I think should be obvious about how they work turns out not to be true. All I want is a full page template, I feel like that used to be easy. I finally figured out, create a template with a group, and then some patterns that are similar, but when i am in the editor, It still shows me the "narrowed" content view even when i have selected my full page template and imported a full page patten.

All of the pre-built patterns shipped with twenty twenty-four immediately make the editor adjust to full page, but mine do not. What are they doing different? I would just like to work WYSIWYG style.
