Not for the user. But users fiddling with these hooks affect their own
systems only.

Again I would affect users who don't work with multiple frames.

I initially thought (like you did too) that Emacs would not send a
request to focus a frame that already has focus. After looking into
this I noticed that it does send a request unconditionally.

It's not nice to do that even for Windows only.

Because I try to be as minimally invasive as possible.

I'll do that.
