The tooltip already stays open when you click on the close button, to allow you to close
multiple windows in rapid succession. This patch adopts that behavior for when clicking
on the thumbnail itself, in aid of the use case where you want to bring multiple windows
forward in rapid succession.

There's a huge difference compared to close.
With the thumbail case, it's quite common that your next action is to want to interact with the window that's under the thumbnail.
With close that isn't the case.
Given this was added very explicitly (8e1e22bc25315846baf2888a77f86182f7dde34d) I strongly expect this behaviour will will increase clicks in the common case to reduce a click in a super niche case.
I agree. The tooltips get in the way far too often as they are, so making them stay unnecessarily would be annoying.
Maybe it could stay open after click only for the case where it's a tooltip for a grouped item and there are multiple windows in it? IIRC this is what Windows does, now that I think about it.

But even so, which case which is more likely:
A user wants to interact with a recently clicked window that overlaps with the tooltip
A user wants to open 2 windows.
Both are annoying, and both are resolved with an additional click.
