Why nobody talks about how oven temperature drops after the first batch

I was baking cookies for a church bake sale last Saturday and noticed my second batch came out flat and pale compared to the first. I checked my oven thermometer and found it dropped a full 35 degrees after I opened the door to take out the first tray. Now I always wait an extra 10 minutes for the temp to recover before loading the next batch. Has anyone else dealt with this or found a better way to keep the heat steady between batches?

Isn't that just the nature of the oven needing time to get back up to heat?

Same thing happened with my roast chicken last week, it's so frustrating.
