Activate doesn't have to mean raise. It usually mean uniconify, focus and
possibly raise if the WM manager wants it. If you have several workspaces,
you can have different active windows in each one of them. Here is the (very
brief) rationale from freedesktop:
Rationale: XSetInputFocus is not sufficient, since the window may be
hidden on another virtual desktop ( in that case XSetInputFocus
fails with a BadWindow error )
But I'm not sure exactly why this is needed.
