>Windows interrupts you regularly for stuff that's not important to whatever you're doing.

Really not my current experience and I use W10 daily at work and W11 at home. Not saying it's a good OS, just saying that your statement is plain wrong.

If certain (third party) apps are annoying then you can control notifications through the focus assist setting just like with any mobile OS.

Exactly. The only "interruptions" I get on my Windows machine are from my AV, and the lower-right-corner popup alerts don't steal focus from my current window.
