Honestly, when I open a new application I normally want to interact with it now. Always drove me nuts , when I opened a Powershell window in a folder and then had to click on it again.

Until its a popup and you're entering a password.

Or it took several seconds to load.

That's how I once received one of my colleagues passwords via Teams.

It opened with a delay and was finished around the same time you were entering your windows password for the VPN. But it stayed in the background or opened on another screen so it takes a while until you noticed.

So he typed in his password and hit enter thinking he was still in the VPN login window while actually sending it to a meeting chat.

I think it'd be nice if there was an OS-app version of the web browser middle-click. I never feel confused about whether an opened link is or is not taking focus because I shared my intent by which mouse button I used (left: open and switch, middle: just open).
