Apple has made changes to the behavior of the Option key in macOS Sonoma. Previously, Option-clicking on the Finder's Desktop would hide all running apps, but now it only hides the frontmost app. To hide all visible running apps except Finder, users can now click on the Finder's Desktop without holding down any keys.
