Oh yeah, that’s a very good point. It’s sort of mitigated by the fact that to this day, app launching is a pretty bad experience across the board. It’s just the norm for apps to do annoying things on startup that violate user intent, take focus away, etc. So in a regime where you already have to assume that apps need time to “settle” before you can interact with them (or in fact, before you can reliably interact with anything), modal updates actually don’t make things much worse.
