There is a very specific reason. When using the mouse it is easiest to
access an item again if it is in the same general place. If you
continually re-order the windows based on stacking order it becomes very
slow to use the mouse. Instead of this workflow, *Remember icon or end
of list for new*, Click, begin moving mouse, *scan exact position*,
focus, lauch app. You have click, *scan stack to see where window is*,
then move mouse, focus, launch app. However because there is no
guaranteed muscle memory both *scanning* and moving the mouse take
longer.
