And I tried to address exactly the same problem. I only disagreed with
using the word "confusing". I think this is rather about convenience.

This makes the behavior more predictable: the user will know that all
buffers will be displayed in the most recently used window, so the user
can switch to that window before continuing to navigate buffers.

This is not about rgrep buffers.
