Are you by chance telling macOS to open new apps on another Desktop/Workspace? Or maybe utilizing the Desktop tiling features that MacOS supports (but I personally hate).

Interesting that you don't have it. I've never consciously told macos to open new apps in another workspace, but it generally does that. And in general, I'm a fan of multiple workspaces, each with a single app (on Linux, & then more recently on Windows 10/11, and also on the Macbook).
What's more confusing on Mac is that 'Desktop' does not equal workspace. If I look at what's there at this moment (which is typical), Finder is open in what is labelled Desktop 1, Firefox is open on Desktop 2, and Desktop 3 is vacant. I can switch freely between them using Control + arrow keys L & R. So, looking at Firefox in Desktop 2, I decide to open Sigil. I click on Sigil in the Dock, and it opens in another workspace. When I press the F3 key, it shows Sigil sitting between Desktop 2 and Desktop 3 and simply named Sigil. It's in a complete window on its own with no Desktop name.
I now run an edit plugin, plugin runner opens on top of Sigil, and then, whoops, I'm diverted to Desktop 1 where the working window of the plugin is displayed.
I searched Apple Settings and don't see any mention of a tiling feature or a switch to launch new apps in another workspace.
I just put it all down to a mac peculiarity - probably not worth spending much time on.
