I "use" this feature and found it useful as often you need to hit a
specific area of the window that might be hidden. As the focusing is
delayed it never run into my way.

Btw, You can also hover a window-list entry and the window get raised.

At least on windows you can also drag onto a window list entry. This
does not work on GNOME, maybe for technically reasons. This possibility
reduces the need of "managing" windows while drag'n'drop.
