Apple is the only one that lacks this. Windows and most linux WM have this for at least 20 years!
windows you just use WIN+[1,2,3,4...] to alternate between your quick launch apps.
Linux obviously you have a myriad of options. Including the top comment here now about using virtual desktops which is even better than application (but you can mix them too!)
And all that while still keeping your Fkeys functionality on each application!
The time I was forced to use a Mac for development was the time my productivity was lowest and frustration highest.
I'm fully convinced that Macs exist only because managers (and wanna be managers) make those decisions. Not to mention i've worked on employeer provided apple, dell, hp, lenovos... macs were the only ones i had to send to IT with failing keyboards, dead screens, etc.
I'm always puzzled by the stubbornness with which Apple refuses to make window management on macOS ergonomic. They think about so many subtler points, they can't fail to notice the elephant in their room. It bothers me every time I have to use macOS.
I wonder who should leave the macOS team to have this finally addressed, like Jony Ive had to leave to make the Macbook hardware reasonable again.
I've mentioned in a previous discussion here that I believe that macOS has the worst UX of all the major OSes. And that belief is mostly because of how horrendous window management is (and Finder but that's a different discussion altogether). The lack of hotkeys for switching workspaces was one of my biggest gripes.
And the culture that has formed around macOS users is to just accept it and buy numerous third apps to fix things that should be a standard feature of the OS.
You are using computers wrong.
