Yes, stealing focus by another application should not be permitted by the window manager / OS. Windows XP had a feature or a 3rd party plugin that would simply blink the application in the task bar if it attempted to steal focus. I also seem to remember a similar feature in Gnome 2, though it could be a false memory.

I remember this (I think). The worst offenders that come to mind for me are applications themselves, not other programs or the OS.
Edit: a possible exception being the “please enter your iCloud password” curse I somehow cast on myself sometimes.
