From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren't. There's no need to "focus" the window.
The need to focus on the window before clicking?
I don't understand the question. All of them.
No. It doesn't. I'm beginning to think you've never used a Mac.
I can't. Because it's completely inconsistent and I have no idea why or how.
Window focus is important for things like determining where keyboard input goes. If you want to type text into another window that isn't focused, you need to switch focus before continuing to type so your text goes into the right window.
It doesn't delay the click action for a double click because it already does it for a single click, so it would be pointless to do the same for a double click. If you're double clicking, it's pretty much always because you actually want to double click on something specific in the UI.
Skill issue.
I use a Mac almost as much as I use Linux, which is almost daily, right now exclusively even since I'm not at home where my Linux computer is.
I'm beginning to think you've never used any computer since you don't even know what window focus is for.
No you don't, you just click the text box. Once. This works perfectly, and as expected, on Windows and Linux.
Except it's not. It's because you're trying to bypass the annoying ass "focus" feature.
Okay so we're moving onto personal insults now, I suppose.
Every other computer I've used works normally. Only Mac has this annoying ass "feature".
