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 the bathwater here. macOS is a very good OS. Windows does this one aspect better.

Only seen as such when coming from a Windows background. The Windows paradigm is maddening when approached from the perspective of someone who has used Macs for decades.

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