Using 2+ Monitors on this platform is unintuitive

Very small annoyance but happens so often i want to get others input on it. Does anyone else become annoyed/frustrated when having multiple instances of the same application open on separate desktops, it seems that when selecting that application macos will never open the application on the screen that you are using but the screen that the application was last open on. (well not never, but only if the desktop you're operating on happens to also be the desktop that the last open instance of the application was on) for example i play my xbox at my desk and have it connected via hdmi to desktop 1, and will use my mac on desktop 2, when i go to open applications via the dock on desktop 2, if the application was last opened on desktop 1 it will open the new instance of the application on desktop 1 and NOT desktop 2 which i am actively using and purposefully selected 'open new window' on... has anyone dealt with this or know a work around? or at least insight as to why that might be the best way to go about things from a UX standpoint... right now when it does that if i am in the middle of the game my only option is to unplug the macs connection to desktop 1 to force ALL applications to be on desktop 2
