I HATE it when ANYTHING takes focus on its own

This didn't used to be possible in MacOS X. When I switched from Windows, it was such a lovely surprise I considered it one of the best reasons to make the change.

That didn't last. Maybe five years ago, something changed and MacOS allowed programs to hijack focus. I was so disappointed.

Apple seems to be (very slowly) getting back to fundamentals. I wish reverting this change was part of that program.

Agreed. There's few seemingly "minor" things that can make me see bright red quite like this. It's such an actively hostile dark UX pattern. It should simply be made impossible.
