BeOS didn't _design_ their UI _around_ click-to-focus. They don't
have floating panels that vanish when focus leaves their parent
window, a floating menu bar that changes when the focus changes,
and so on. There's 20 years of design around a different focus
model you'd have to unwind or work around to make point-to-focus
work in OS X.

There's stuff above here
