> windows just lets apps grab whatever window they want [...] and everything Just Works Not really, as proven by the amount of searches with "Windows 11 disable focus stealing" (and ensuing frustration after seeing that it's not a simple toggle somewhere in the Settings) that I've done over time, and confirmed with so many coworkers over the years that we'd like to disable it. Windows in particular and computers in general, work as they do, and people just adapt to it and sigh in frustration, assuming that things must be that way and there's nothing that can be done to change it. It's difficult to measure "Just Works" if there are no satisfaction surveys for each feature (also would be impractical). Focus stealing in particular is so ingrained in people's minds that I doubt many are even aware that it could work differently.
