IIUC it intentionally doesn't care and doesn't make any guarantees.
See the info on 'make-frame':

     This function itself does not make the new frame the selected
     frame.  *Note Input Focus::.  The previously selected frame remains
     selected.  On graphical terminals, however, the windowing system
     may select the new frame for its own reasons.
