It's sad to note that devs put a lot of effort on the aesthetics side of the OS while they ignore the niche issues brought about by software fragmentation that actually frustrates users the most. So I tried it on Windows 11 to see if it was finally fixed, and unfortunately it wasn't. Every response in the Microsoft forums say that Auto-hide taskbar should just be rather 'turned off' (what a cheeky response tbh). I believe that this occurs because these two programs have some sort of a custom window style, or maybe it just forces itself to run on top of everything (including the 1px area that activates the taskbar when you hover on it). I have replicated this issue with Wondershare Filmora and FL Studio (both maximized). I had this ongoing irritating issue with Windows 10 (I believe it already existed as early as Windows XP and devs didn't give a s***) that when I enable 'Auto-hide Taskbar', where otherwise I expect it to appear every single time I hover my cursor to the bottom edge of the screen, it does not work with some third-party programs when maximized, although it's not the case when they are 'windowed' (i.e. I have tried using Windows 11 in a VM to test if its features are worth it.
