How can I prevent new window focus from overriding cursor focus? (lemm.ee)

For instance, if I'm opening a handful of apps that take a bit of time to start up, and then start dragging windows around to set up my workspace, each time an app finishes loading or a new window is created, I'll be yanked out of my dragging and forced into focus on that window.

I need a way to prevent these windows/apps from automatically seizing focus, it's REALLY fucking annoying. Steam especially will hog focus 3 or more fucking times in its startup process. This is such a stupid default function.

This issue easily makes top 10 Windows annoyances. Microsoft will just add more ads and AI instead of solving these fundamental issues. My other issue is making virtual desktops different (names, colors) to easily recognize them.

KDE Plasma has this problem as well. I think GNOME actually solved it by displaying a notification once a launched application is ready. Not sure if applications can still force themselves to be in front though.
