Exactly. When I have some files open, I don't actually care what the application is. I don't care to keep a hierarchy of the owning applications in my mind. Whether a docx file opened in Word, Libre, Pages, TextEdit, or whatever..

It is seen as such when both approaches are compared, point by point.

A stack of the most-recently-in-focus windows is more practical than a stack of the most-recently-in-focus apps. The absurd thing to me is that macOS didn't adopt this simpler workflow model. No one is trying to throw out the baby with

There isn't a relation.
