I'm a long-time Windows user who occasionally uses macOS. I like using macOS but I find an aspect of app switching to be confusing compared to Windows. If, while repeatedly pressing Command-Tab to switch between apps, I select an app that is currently minimized, the app doesn't restore; i.e., it remains minimized. In Windows, the app is restored. I accidentally discovered that pressing the Option key before releasing Command-Tab causes the app to be restored. What's Apple's reasoning on this? Why does the app become restored only if the Option key is pressed?
What if you want certain windows within an app to remain minimized while app switching. If they automatically popped up, and you did not want them to, then you would take the time to minimize them again.
I guess you could reverse it, and ask why doesn't Windows stay minimized when app switching.

I will also add that I am a long time Mac, that is forced to use Windows for work.
I am currently using Windows 10, but have used 7 and XP in the past, and have found many things confusing when compared to the Mac side.
The things I like about Windows over Mac are few, and I could probably count them on one hand.
