Rationale
I think that the rationale behind current behavior is that you don't want notifications to pop when you're giving a presentation or watching a movie. But isn't it why we have the "Do not disturb" option? Usually I'll just turn it on when I don't want to see notifications. And if I don't turn it on - then I want to see them even if I watch a video in fullscreen. It may be an important message or an email or a reminder that I have to do something important right now. So I'd like the option to be able to see normal priority notifications over fullscreen windows, not only critical ones.
