Questionwhy does focus always revert to the desktop? Pin

I tried asking about this annoyance on some more user-oriented forums but did not get any good responses, so maybe you software developers can field it. (I am an retired VAX/VMS programmer BTW.)

I want to know why, in Windows 7, when an application exits, application focus always reverts to the desktop instead of the most recently visited and still open app?

I am a recent convert from Windows 2000, which didn't have this problem. When did this focus policy change? XP? Vista?

In Windows 7, an app can dominate the screen --completely maximized, and yet the desktop has the focus. How is this EVER useful? It is blatantly counter-intuitive.

The only time I want the desktop to have focus is when all apps are minimized or there are no apps running. Is there a way to tweak this behavior (with something like the old TweakUI) to the way I want, or do I have to do it the hard way and write an event monitoring utility? Or maybe some third party has already adressed this?
