opening XX images in PS with ACR: no multitasking

I adjust 30 images in LR Classic v11. XMPs are written. After adjusting the 30 images I quit LR. I drag these 30 images onto PS (v22.5.1) to do final adjustments. ACR (v14.0) opens. When I say „Open“ the 30 files are opened in PS. This takes some time.

During that process I can’t do anything else on my MacBook. Whenever I click another App (Safari for instance) ACR will always be in the foreground. This is pretty annoying.

I am on a MacBook Air M1 from 2020 with MacOS Big Sur 11.6. This issue has been the same for years (at least on Mac).

yes I have tried that. But

a) that creates additional TIF files which I don't want for multiple reasons. I find the RAW+XMP much more elegant.
b) my workflow often is finishing (for example) 30 images in LR and then after finalize these 30 images in PS. This is a more "batch-like" processing workflow

You can't edit in Photoshop without rendered files being created, either PSD or TIFF. Just use Open in Photoshop.

I know that. With my workflow I just prefer to open 30+ files at once in PS after I am done with all my LR adjustments.

And then it is annoying that ACR of PS stays in the foreground while all the files are opening. Effectively blocking the computer for that period.

Have you tried using Edit in Photoshop directly from Lr? I am wondering why you are choosing an external route of Lr -> Finder -> Ps instead of directly from Lr to Ps?
