ᐅ Roof tiles overlap the edges of roof windows – is this normal?

Hello, attached is a photo. I think the roof tiles are sticking out too much, but the roofer says it can’t be done any other way. Also, they aren’t laid very straight. Can this be left as is, or how could it be fixed?

The roofer at most accidentally hit the 5cm (2 inches). It’s always hard for me to judge distances from photos like this, but I think the crooked line speaks for itself.
Shouldn’t an verge flashing normally extend beyond the tiles?
And since the roofer did such a neat job... where exactly does this flashing drain to?

I quickly checked, and my neighbor has the same roof tiles, which are indeed staggered. I would have the entire roof inspected again by a professional and then take any further (necessary) steps.

Our roof was reworked several times. The solar installer later said they rarely see such well-done roofs, so from my perspective, the “stress” was worth it.
