Opening multiple tabs from one place, and then going through them exactly in that order, is just not something that happens often for me.

Not at all. Imagine you were reading some document in some tab. This tab could be in any window, on any workspace.

Now you check your email in-between, which is another tab in another window.

Now after checking your email, you want to go back to the document you were reading: try finding it back amongst all windows across all desktops, possibly not anymore the front tab because you also just opened a link from the document, or instinctively opened the discord tab of the window the document was in or paused some youtube music that was playing, or whatever!

MRU solves that perfectly. We're talking about 100s of tabs across multiple windows here. With MRU you only have to go through maybe max 10 or so, which is easy to find the document back in.
