No - but how many habits are you trying to form at one time?
Just checked my habit tracking app, and it's a dozen, 10 of which I haven't given up on yet.

The animations on things like this can be cute and fun the first time, but man they can get annoying if they're constant and can't be skipped. Hearthstone is an example of this; there's tons of cute animations for the various cards, but they can take way too long.
Hiding "no animations" for power users under accessibility is a great way to go.
They do that to keep you playing longer. I wonder if OP would describe the loot opening dance in games like hearthstone and Overwatch as rewarding game feel, rather than an intentional time sink.
Remember, for a user centric app, the goal is for the user to use it AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Not because it is frustrating to use but because it is efficient and you respect their time. Optimising for stickiness is user hostile.
in GTK when you instantiate the window you pass what is called the "transient for" property (https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/method.NativeDialog.set_transient_...). That informs the dialog what it belongs to. If you were to re-engineer this to make the file picker its own process, then you would have to fundamentally change the way it functions, sadly.
Edit: And I think Wayland would make this impossible? Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't you lose basically all inter-window introspection with it? There may be some negotiation process, but I don't know how you would go about accessing an entirely separate application's context under that pipeline.
> inter-window introspection
This oxymoron is a pet peeve of mine. If it's inter-window, then it's just inspection. Introspection is when something inspects itself, but people seem to think it just means inspecting anything technical.
Great post though, I just needed to get that off my chest
