Why does Microsoft insist (in say Microsoft Office) that if you are

Is Microsoft Office perhaps the odd one out?

Some other Microsoft software, for example IE, File Explorer, *do*
react to the first click, so it's not a general Microsoft issue.

Any other - than Office - Microsoft examples? Any non-Microsoft
examples?
