isn't 4 expected behavior? if i open an application i expect it to be focused when it opens

True, but so many applications open more than once. They open a window that is just a logo, then 5 sec later a window with a loading bar, then finaly the actual application. And each time they steal the focus. Fuck that!

Logitech software that wont register my games keybinds unless I open it to spend 3 minutes loading and then hides my game while I'm frantically trying not to die from my lack of utility keybinds

If you open an application, yes. What if another application does?

Or what if you want to open an application that takes like a minute to load like Discord or photo editing software or CAD software, and want to do things while the splash screen is there and loading still?

Steam steals focus like 5 times during launch.

Not sure if I want my applications to open other applications in a semi hidden way, if it does I want it to be obvious

You probably aren't a desktop power user. I for example call GUI applications from the command line all the time.

Yeah good point, I guess the key is having the option to set default behaviours. Which I haven't found in windows

It meant open as an adjective, not a verb.
