pickFiles dialog does not receive focus on macOS

[Hixie]

Describe the bug

I try to open an "open" dialog as follows, in reaction to a click on a material button:

Future<PlatformFile?> openFile(
  BuildContext context, {
  required String title,
  required String extension,
}) async {
  Navigator.push(context, _createModalBackdrop());
  try {
    FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
      dialogTitle: title,
      type: FileType.custom,
      allowedExtensions: [extension],
      withReadStream: true,
      lockParentWindow: true,
    );
    return result?.files.single;
  } finally {
    // ignore: use_build_context_synchronously
    Navigator.pop(context);
  }
}

...and the dialog pops up above my macOS application, but the open files dialog is not focused; the app retains focus.

additionally macOS app can still be interacted with while picker is open which is not good. same happens with FilePicker.platform.saveFile
