I feel this is a good change as it also emphasizes window/terminal focus is at correct place and user do not unintentionally type the password to another focused place (chat etc.)

I've installed GNU/Linux (mostly by Mint distro and Mate desktop) to both of my non-tech parents home laptops like 10 years in a row now. Non-tech in this case means browsing, banking, printing, email, docs and sheets, video conferencing (mostly MS Teams), etc. I keep these machines updated remotely ~once in a month.

After Windows XP/7 family originated support requests have declined like 95% being only 1-2 per year for past years. I don't give all credit to Linux/Mint/Mate/apps but to the fact installing any unnecessary bloat to an average Linux requires a bit more than just clicking "Install me" button on any web page and then (generously instructed by the browser) run that .exe in admin privileges.

Yes there are Flatpak and friends and I'm already a bit scared they will evolve easy enough to install bloat increasing family originated support requests to Windows days.
