Some games hog the mouse input when two apps are open simultaneously

Some games hog the mouse input from other apps that are open alongside them in gamemode. It doesn't seem to make a difference if the other app is Steam or non-Steam. There doesn't seem to be any outward commonality with the games I've tested and only very few games have this behavior.

The games I've identified are:
Digimon World: Next Order
Outer Wilds
Bioshock Remastered
Cave Story+
Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
Insaniquarium
Mafia

Reproduction steps:
1. Open one of the listed games
2. Launch something like discord as a second program
3. Open the second program
4. Attempt to click on anything on the second program

Expected results:
The second program should get mouse input

What actually happens
The second program doesn't get any mouse input from the pointer or buttons

Further comment: If I simultaneously open two games that hog the mouse, like Digimon World: Next Order and Outer Wilds, both of them receive the input

I have been informed that this can also be reproduced with Fallout New Vegas+Nexus Mod Manager and Persona 5+FlawlessWidescreen. I am unable to test myself.
