I feel I’m being a bit dim here, but depress-frame is already raised
and focused when I run this in the scratch buffer, so I’m unsure how
to try replicating it.

​On macOS for me, the (make-frame) call puts the new frame at the top of the stack and sets input focus there for me,

so depress-frame is under that.
