How does turning that off help? Does it let you bring an entire application to the foreground (all of its windows) at once?

And when was that ever a thing on Windows?

No, that's kind of the point. It's not something Windows XP/Vista/whatever made worse by hiding it or even taking it away. It simply is not available.
macOS works like this though, IIRC, and no other way.

I'm not really exploring the origin of the problem; I'm just saying it's dumb and a pain in the ass.
