indeed this is a mighty annoying problem

related: focus-stealing. e.g. when you launch an application, then switch to another application to do something, then the application you launched takes-over the foreground and steals-focus. No. It should launch in the background.

I find Windows more notorious for what you're describing than Mac OS, but yes, that's another problem.
