I did submit a feedback yesterday, but I think I've figured out what's causing the issue, without knowing why it's causing it.
I was using a Dock replacement app called uBar on macOS, which functions similar to the native Dock with some enhanced abilities. The "Install site as app" process might have some conflicts with the system hooks uBar uses to query active apps, especially Finder. After I switch back the the native Dock, everything works fine.
I'll report this to uBar's development team as well.

You're welcome, and also good job on finding it, that must be the reason, the custom dock 🙂
