Please make this an optional feature. Not everyone wants things to just switch because the mouse hovers over.

I wish the OP would expand on exactly what the use case is.

For me, this is a feature that I have been looking for since working with X11. It speeds up window selection for me because I'm removing the extra step of having to click before typing. In the default macOS Terminal.app, one can enable this functionality using:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string YES

Note: I had to quit and restart the Terminal.app and this functionality worked like a charm.

To this disable this functionality, one must do the following:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string NO

FYI The ("ancient") X11 window managers have had this, because it's ergonomic: less mouse clicks.

(Yes, you may have an unintentional switch to a different window, or you may type a password/token/sensitive data into a wrong application or make it visible - but there are costs and disadvantages to every choice.)

GNOME supports this, too, with Tweaks application: image
