I'm not sure if applications stealing the focus is a good or bad feature, but my user experience is negatively impacted by it more often than not.

Typing a password when an application suddenly rips the focus away to a text field? Congrats, you just typed your password in clear text.

Even when I'm not typing a password when it happens it is super fucking annoying because suddenly my keyboard navigation doesn't work.

Is this a feature that helps literally anyone?

@lesbianhacker Wouldn't know about other people, but personally I've literally caught myself saying the words "don't steal focus, asshole" out loud when this sort of thing happens.
