Documents in Mac dock pop up when another document is created or opened

It's very annoying that any Illustrator document that has been minimized to the dock in MacOS automatically pops up whenever Illustrator is selected as the active application, or if a new document is created, or if another document is opened. This behavior makes no sense, documents are minimized for a reason, so that they can be called up quickly, but only WHEN NEEDED.

Illustrator appears to be the only Adobe application that has this annoying behavior. It would be nice if Adobe would fix this.
