Ok, this is getting tiring.
How do I turn off the ..."feature"... of having preview open documents or images UNDERNEATH the open Finder window. I know this is a ..."feature"... Apple thinks we can't live without, but how do I turn this off forever?
MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1

So what is actually happening is Finder stays in the foreground when opening a File. That's different than what I thought.
It appears that is a glitch, solutions include restarting the Mac either normally or in safe mode.

I don't know what you're talking about. If I double click a PDF file in a Finder window, it opens with Preview and the PDF is on top of all my Finder windows underneath.
I notice you are running an older Sequoia version and you may wish to update. 15.7.3 is the current
The Preview app will show the "Open File" dialog (Finder) if there's nothing already opened when you open Preview.
If there's another file already opened it should not pop up the "Open File" dialog.
You can stop this behavior by going to System Settings ➜ Apple Account ➜ iCloud ➜ Drive ➜ Apps Syncing to iCloud ➜ Preview and uncheck it.
Now, don't ask me why this is the setting that controls that option, but it does.
