Yeah. I also think it was a bigger issue historically when programs were more likely to take a while to load, so you'd open something, do stuff while it's loading, and then it'd be ready in the background.
But on a modern machine where you likely have an ssd, and potentially even an nvme SSD, a lot of times you just open a thing and instead of it showing up you get a notification 😅
