I guess I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. I don’t often switch desktops - I tend to keep a project on a desktop, and there’s enough real-estate for everything I need for that project right there - and I don’t work on more than one project at a time.

Window switching is instantaneous though, and I do that a lot

As you said, it's the set up. I'm almost exclusively using a single monitor, which works well when there's zero cost to switching desktops.

For your use case, imagine if the Window switcher, instead of being instantaneous, was a ~1200ms animation which blocked all key presses during the animation.
