Confused between push-pull and open-drain

I am planning to use i2c based port expander (earlier I was using atmega328P's GPIO) for inputs and outputs. On a digikey search, I found MCP23008, MCP23009 and MCP23017 as possible replacements. Out ...

Must both transistors in a class AB amplifier push-pull pair need to be matched?

A in push pull pair the emitter of the two transistors are connected together. Therefore, what difference would it make if they are not matched vs if they are matched i.e they have same beta value.

What use is a pull-up/pull-down with a push-pull output?

For at least some STM32F4 MCUs, push-pull + pull-up/pull-down is a valid GPIO configuration, but what would you ever use it for, and why? I assume there's some saner reason than "I just really felt I ...
