On Mac, clicking on an inactive window brings it to the front without 
sending the click to the application code, so it won't activate elements.

On some apps.

Some other apps override that behavior, making it useless, since you're 
never sure if a click will activate an element or not (depends on whether 
that app overrode the click-through behavior or not).

Why does Apple get *almost* everything right? The details they get wrong are 
usually *very* annoying.
